Light premium watch on rubber/elastomer for every day

Dear friends! I am writing here, as I am the proud owner of Rolex (DJ, OP).
Now I would like to buy something more premium (perhaps), but light (titanium, ceramic, carbon?) on rubber/elastomer. I am tired of the weight of the bracelet, and the leather band does not suit me, since I wear the watch daily (24/7) not only with a suit, but also don't take it off when I go to the gym, pool, bed (sometimes). Of course, my future watch should not look very sporty, I think the look of Blancpain Aqualung Big Date is ideal, but they have not been produced for about 5 years...
I have found few variants, but maybe You can suggest more...
Breguet Marine 5517 Titanium on rubber
Patek Philippe Aquanaut 5167A on rubber
What do You think? Or maybe You will dissuade me from my desire, for example, in favor of a classic Sub or YM42...

And what about the new Hermes H08? Not in this league?

Get the Breguet. Very compact dimensions with a nice dial size. Weighs nearly nothing on the wrist.

Patek Philippe Aquanaut 5167A would be good if you can get at the boutique.

What about the Omega Aqua Terra Ultralight? Maybe too sporty - but super cool...

How about a Panerai Luminor Due 42mm in Titanium? Switch it out for a rubber strap and it's pretty great!

The other option, which I consider to be the best at being casual (not sporty) and super convenient, is the Journe Elegante 48. Very light, very premium, and it doesn't scream at you with a neutral color strap.

This is a good “budget” option. Have taken a liking to Hermes recently. Nice watches.

How about the Vacheron Constantin Overseas range?

I have the dual time. It is very light and I think it looks beautiful too.
