With a Cartier tank I would get all the straps. Check out Delugs, their Cartier straps are a bit pricey but are the bees knees. If you dont want to spend too much up front, I would recommend getting a bunch of cheap straps from Amazon for a trial run. Don't discount rubber either
How about something from Rotary. They make some great quartz pieces:
Rotary is actually a really old company, started in 1895. But their business model has changed to make affordable quartz watches. As an owner of several Rotary watches, I can confirm that their build quality is quite good for the price. This dress watch is $230.
Ok this one caught me off guard. Rotary finally has a Cartier Santos Dumont homage! This one is $314. The silver is $286. Wow what a beauty. This one is pretty tempting... I might have to make an impulse purchase without telling the missus...
Rotary Windsor always gives me those grandpa vibes. $329
RW 1895, lovely. (currently out of stock)
Perhaps something that gives off that Rolex Oyster Perpetual feeling for $343 (ref: GB05521/04)
Are you looking at the GMT because you just need something temporary to hold you over until you have the funds for the Longines? IMO you should consider the Seiko 5 Field GMT instead of one with a SKX case model. Plus it's got some explorer 2 vibes (the JDM model in particular)
You are missing a moon complication. A dress watch with a moon phase would be good here. How about a JLC Master Ultra Thin Moon
My watch roll fits five, so it's DDDFB

Digital and Beater may have a bit of overlap
I have so many watches I end up winding them whenever I rotate to a new watch anyway.
All that claptrap about the romance of winding the watch reinforcing a viscery connection to your watch etc.. it's, it's actually kinda true. There is something to winding the watch. I don't find it bothersome at all.
The watch winding ritual doesn't hold a candle to my coffee making ritual tho.
