Conundrum, Dilemma... " Only one wrist watch " which would that be ?

I have simple time piece requirements. A Longines with their 30LS movement and featuring a full set of Arabic numeral markers, because it has everything needed and nothing not needed.

I really like the 116520 Daytona, 3 day power reserve, slim, not too large, automatic, reliable, 100M water resistant, good bracelet, and it works with anything from a suit to board shorts. The only problem is if you're careless and bang it into things it shows damage easily.

The Seamaster Pro 300M Diver would be the Omega choice, ideally the third gen ceramic with cal 2500D. Every person I've recommended that watch to as their one good watch has been so happy with it, and unlike the Daytona, it has to be one of the most damage resistant watches ever.

The smooth, flush transition from domed crystal to ceramic bezel means it takes blows and they just glance off, the lugs being scalloped and round means they don't have sharp edges to ding, the alternating brushed and polished detail on the bracelet links limits and hides scratches, and the smooth brushed clasp allows for easy touch-ups with a scotchbrite pad.

While the Daytona my brother wore at his bar & restaurant was destroyed twice over in the time he wore it there (https://omegaforums.net/threads/rolex-ss-daytona-after-7-years.1720/), his restaurant manager had a 3rd Gen Seamaster Pro ceramic for nearly a decade and it looked almost brand new despite the same abuse.

Cannot speak highly enough of those Seamasters, we filmed one of them over a decade ago here:
