Looking for suggestions on offset crowned watches
I have always admired the offset crown design choice on watches. I want to own a watch which houses this unique design choice and stays under $500. I am aware of the popular Seiko 5 line with recessed crown at 4 o'clock or the Sinn U1 S.
Look forward to hearing new recommendations (2 o'clock crown position would be interesting).
Thanks!

Those are some really good suggestions. I have my eyes set on Triton.
Adding a few more names to this list from the Russian watch brand - Vostok.
Vostok 2403/581098
Driver's Watch style and thus an offset dial as well as crown which is under $100 in 3 variants. Glass is mineral/organic. Russian mechanical movement with manual winding (no battery needed) with power reserve of 38 hours on full winding.
Dimensions: diameter - 38 mm, height - 11 mm.
Vostok 2403/581826
No offset dial but only an offset crown. Specs and price are same as previous watch.
Basically check the Vostok Prestige Retro Line for similar styled watches.
Vostok Prestige 2403-583100 KLS
Appending some more names to this list,
Vario 1918 Trench and Medic watches. Beautiful👌 and not too heavy on the pocket.
Avi8 also have some offset design pieces.
Lancaster Bomber AV-4050
And the elegant design of 7138-4 Zeppelin LZ120 Serie Rome from Zeppelin.
Zeppelin Flatline 7368-4 73684
