I'd go for Vostok, but their catalogue isn't very varied. They have no digitals, chronos or pretty much anything else beside divers that in my opinion can work as dress watches with the more subtle dials.

During my service in the Finnish military I too have noticed that Casio dominates in the watch department. Although I have seen only 1 G-shock which was my friend's. This may be because the Finnish military service lasts only 347 days at most (unless you get hired as staff, which isn't that common)
