And, fwiw, I’d probably steer away from chronographs, since they’re all going to be fairly thick due to using the ETA 775x/Sellita SW500 movements, which have a fair degree of rotor wobble that some people don’t like the feel of.

I second the above re thickness and rotor wobble on the more affordable automatic chronos. Had an IWC GST Chrono w a Valjoux 7750 based movement and it did not last due to rotor wobble and noise...
If I was the OP I'd look at the IWC Mark XV Fliegeruhr, Ref 3253, and, if it has to be a chrono, the corresponding IWC Flieger Chrono Ref 3706. Both are timeless classics from a brand well known for its Flieger pieces and within budget. I would stay clear of their more recent offerings though as the brand very much lost it after being bought by Richemont in the early 2000s...
