Horological Meandering

Ive been lucky enough to own a complicated patek for five years now. I've been wearing it and treasuring it every day. However for a while i've been playing with the idea of buying another watch for myself. I've termed it the 'sunday watch', a watch that you can wear on a your day off, on your holiday, on the beach, a watch that is less delicate than a patek but still carries as many purist features as possible. I've looked at rolex explorers, omegas, breitlings, fiftty fathoms but i wanted something that felt a bit more classic and less frequently seen on wrists. My ideal watch would have manual winding, size less than 40mm, time +/- chrono, no date/calendar, and an in-house movement. There is a number of such watches out there but they tend to be dress watches and dont fit the 'sunday watch' feel, for example vacheron patrimony, jlc ultra thin, patek calatrava. The closest casual looking watch meeting those criteria that i could find is the nomos club. I wonder if people here have any other ideas or any views on the nomos. I know its not a brand commonly talked about in here. I'd also like to hear if other people own watches that they use as 'sunday watches' and what those may be.

Thank you and looking forward to your views,

Mihalis
