Looking for a dress watch to add to my collection...

So I currently own a 35mm Tangente NOMOS and Lange Saxonia.
Problem is I can't wear the Lange to work due to many reasons, so I am wearing the Tangente everyday.

Any brand/model that you guys recommend as a dress watch for under $3k?
Was thinking about Frederique Constant but not so sure.
I honestly think NOMOS is the best in that price range but already got one so..

Not a fan of diver watches btw. Thanks!

Pre-loved Cellini would be a good option in that general budget range.

Funny, but when I saw your thread I was going to recommend the Nomos.

I'd go Cartier Tank/Ronde Solo XL - both can be had for around the price point you've specified.

I know it's not a dress watch but a mighty iconic watch to wear daily.

Speedmaster Pro on black leather strap?
