Well, as a "mid road" watch somewhere between Timex and Rolex, you might consider Tag Heuer.
They have some pretty rugged "dive style" watches that run around $800 or so. Screw-down crowns keep them waterproof.
I don't use mine for diving, because a dive computer does the job so much better (and it's connected to your tank, so it shows remaining bottom time.)
But, my wife forgot to take her Tag off, and it survived a 90ft dive just fine.
Saphire crystals are very hard to scratch, stainless bands have double-clasp fasteners, etc.
Very well made Swiss watch, without the snob appeal of the Rolex.
