Doesn't have to be German nor even representative of the brand. Who knows, maybe he prefers an Apple Watch!

Frankly, I generally don't know enough about this fella to give him anything but a totally blind recommendation. With the suggestions you've mentioned, one can assume that you have in mind a German brand, the under 3K USD price limit, and something diver-esque. Furthermore, these are probably what you have in mind, but may not necessarily be what the recipient has in mind. Seems like you know him best! I would default to your judgment! We don't even know the rough age of this "kid" so I default

I like wrenching on my Porsche with my Sinn U1. It’s Tegemented case resists scratches, and its black finish doesn’t show any grease or dust.

I'm a car guy. I love the Sinn no-nonsense look and the prices are right. Cazalea

Hard to make a recommendation without knowing more about the person but considering the budget I suggest having a look at Guinand Uhren. They are a bit cheaper than Sinn but share the same attention to details. The Werksfahrer chrono is a real beauty, if only a bit thick (pic not mine):
