Think I would go with a Hamilton Khaki King or Khaki Field save some of the money and spend it on a Longines Hydroconquest ... like the addition of the Tissot Lelocle and I think I would go with a Glycine Airman. For a chrono Lorier, Zodiac or Yema.
Hamilton Khaki is the ultimate affordable field watch for me as well, that's why I mentioned that this is only one example of what is possible when it comes to creating a Swiss watch collection. Everyone will add their own flavour to their collection. Cheers
