What brand would you recommend for a good, reliable automatic watch for men? Something that can last a life time if well taken care of, under 1k$ if possible.

Visually, looking for something elegant, classy, could be open hearth but nothing extravagant.

For a reliable automatic under $1000, I’d stick with sapphire crystal and solid movements. I recently looked at the Vacheron Overseas line – I used find out more to check its interchangeable strap system and antimagnetic protection, a great option for daily wear.
