Help me find a watch!
Hey guys, jumping on here to see if someone could help me find a watch that I’m looking for. There is certain criteria that I’m looking to fill, if you know of a watch that checks all (or most) of these boxes, send them my way!
All black (or mostly black, if the numirals are not that’s okay)
Field or Dive style
Automatic
Bracelet (also black)
Date complication or Day Date
Magnified cyclops for date
Sub $500
I think that’s it. I found the Orient FAA02003B9 which is definitely close. It’s a good watch to use as a reference tho.
Appreciate any help!

Seiko 5 Blackout is pretty close, but you would need to source a black bracelet. And also no cyclops
SRPD27
Seiko Prospex Sea
There's a limited edition Seiko Alpinist that meets all your criteria except for price. MSRP is around $950, but seems to be available for <$800 new. Perhaps you could find a pre-owned one.
SPB337 "Night Vision" Alpinist
Seiko has got quite a few edition in their black series. For your criteria, these two should fit except for the cyclops.
The bracelet variant field model is SRPJ09 and the Flieger style on the nato is SPRJ11. Plus its DLC black case so pretty durable in long term.
