Not really, but it might help in terms of pricing. You should be able to get a really nice watch for under $1000 if it is quartz movement. If it's automatic, expect it to exceed $1000 slightly, though there is a possibility to get a chronograph automatic movement for $1000 or under.
If you have no preference. I'd recommend looking at Seiko. They have a good variety of stainless steel bracelet chronographs and divers that are under $1000. If you want something swiss, I would check out Tissot, or Hamilton. You might even find swiss auto movements from the latter two.
