Oris may have something to that tics most of those specs.

Or the Tudor BB shown in the same thread, but no display back.

Other than this, I can’t think of any other watch that ticks every one on your list .... but so curious to see what other people come up with !

Bell & Ross is a solid one, too!

I can't remember if it's a sapphire caseback or not?

That said, the only one that I know of that truly ticks *all* the boxes is pre-2019 Panerai Bronzos.

OP, you pushed back on me based on price, but I will note that price wasn't on your list of boxes to tick. :)

Panerai bronzo seems to have won the thread. I can't believe there is not one other single watch that ticks all the boxes.

Doesn’t hit all the boxes and I’m sure you’ve looked at it but the Tudor Black Bay Bronze is great

Here’s my Oris. Doesn’t have everything your talking about but it does have bronze, glass back, auto etc. it is one of my favorite watches particularly for the $$. Oris likely will have what you’re looking for.

Look at Zenith. Their Pilots watches tick every other box. I’m not that familiar with their diver offerings, if any.
