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.

Seiko makes some great Auto's for under $500 let alone $1000.
My favorite watch, and current daily is the SRP229. Hacking, and hand winding which is something the cheap autos tended to lack in the past. i got it for $300 on Amazon. Nice size at 44mm heavy, and you wont cry if you bang it up.
