The Patek 5980 Nautilus and 5968 Aquanaut chronos were rated at 120m and fit your size and no screw-down pusher requirements
I know I know, they changed the rating for all their watches to 30m recently but my take is that this was done in an effort to have all Pateks have the same water resistance. The new 30m are 100% for real and you can take em down to 30m no problem. Also I still believe that the 5980 and 5968 can do a lot more as they had been rated at 120m for many, many years. .
Recommendation: Chrono: 100m WR w/o Screw Down Pushers
Hey folks - looking for some help here. I'm a big fan of chronos and own quite a few (favorite complication) but none that are without screw down pushers and that have a water resistance rating that allows me to swim with them. Have kids so we're constant...
I understand your feelings
I've owned a number of chronos with screw-down pushers in the past, and: no more! One IWC suggestion: older Aquatimer chronos, ref. 3719. Not so thick and heavy as the current models. I owned and enjoyed a titanium model for several years, but they also d...

Speaking of GS…
The SBGC line has relatively small, non-screw down pushers. Might be worth a look. I believe Habrings are all non screw down but have a WR of 50m, so you can comfortably swim with them
Might depend a bit on the model but I can double check 😊👍🏻
They moved closer so it’s an easy one 😉
Remember, not all 50m ratings are equivalent.
You should contact them regarding what they deem as acceptable. I contacted Martin Pulli (the AD for Habring2) in January of 2023. Here's the edited exchange ➤ Me: I see that you are the USA representative for Habring2. Do you know if they make, or can ma...
Longines Spirit Pilot.
Just released. 100m water resistance, manual wound, 72 hours power reserve, fly back, 39x13,5mm thick! No screw down pushers! Meets all your requirements… Thinking about it myself.
It appears you're correct. However..
it wears considerably smaller than its specs imply. Also, unlike the others you've mentioned, it's buttons can be used to full (300m) depth.
Your search begins and ends with the Chuck Maddox Seamaster
Titanium, 300m WR, chrono with non-screw down pushers fully operational at depth The pushers look like they screw down, but they don’t. ...
I just want to say that Parmigiani Fleurier Tonda PF Sport Chronograph Ultra-Cermet in London Grey is just stunning.
As to what to get you seem to have thought of most of them and sorry I have no bright ideas. Marc
Staying in the Parmigiani family, I was massively impressed by this one introduced at W&W25 . . .
40.0mm x 12.7mm. 100M water rating. No date. MSRP 20%+ lower than the Tonda PF Sport Chronograph in cermet. I would be shocked if there aren't additional dial colors in the pipeline, so hopefully some patience will be rewarded. Happy hunting. M4 ...
Albishorn - Type 10
Albishorn is an interesting indie brand that meets your dimensions at 42 mm x 12 mm, with 100 m water resistance. The fact that it's a monopusher and manual wind might make it more of a complementary piece to your collection, compared to a great all-round...
Don't dismiss watches without actually trying them on.
Most watches will wear differently eventhough, on paper, they're of similar dimensions. My Speedmaster 38 co-axial wears a lot thinner than it's stated 14.9mm thickness. Automatic, shockproof, anti-magnetic and waterproof up to 100 meters. Sporty enough f...
