How big is your wrist, and would you want something with some heft or something lighter?
If I were you, given the attire you want to wear the watch with (business/business casual), I'd go with something on a black hide strap. I'd go smaller in the face (34-36mm) and I'd pick something vintage. Not something brand new, and not something quartz.
I'd buy this:

Is it more than your stated range? Yeah, it is, a hair over a thousand bucks. But look at it. That is a watch that oozes class and taste, without being all "and I also own a fleet of yachts" about it. It will be nice and light being stainless steel on a leather band, and if you decide you don't want it, there's always a market for well-maintained vintage pieces like that. In fact, I had another one in mind that I was going to post here except someone snapped it up already.
If I wasn't already in the midst of reducing my collection (too many that don't get enough wrist time as it is), I'd have bought it for myself by now.
