I think any Time Nut worth his salt should own a tourbillon watch, or several. Some would consider these a bargain compared to a new Hydrogen Maser.
If a tourbillon does fit your budget Citizen makes many great watches. After breaking my third $100 watch in a year I purchased a Analog Citizen that automatically sets to WWV and the watch face is a solar cell so it will never need a battery. (Or so they say) The one I purchased includes an altimeters (to help us Time Nuts compensate for the dilation of time due to altitude). Mine is nicely machine from titanium. I shopped the net and found mine for about $400.  I have now owned it for several years and it has been flawless, the only setback is that I usually carry my cell phone which makes a watch redundant these days.
