When I had an Overseas, I thought I would not need another watch.
It was the old model; the new one is too big for me. If it had done what it was supposed to do, I might never have become a watch collector. Unfortunately, I had comfort issues with the bracelet and found the watch susceptible to magnetization. I eventually disposed of it, and have been looking for a substitute since.
The key attributes were:
1. Thin
2. Genuinely water resistant
3. Very legible (the guilloche dial was pleasingly nonreflective)
4. Chronometer certified
5. Very high quality
6. Versatile in that it could be worn with a suit or a bathing suit (appropriately, not just because of "ignore the rules and wear what you like")
Is there ONE watch that does it all?

...have established the Submariner as an obvious option, but I prefer Art's suggestion...I love the Overseas. A simple, stainless Nautilus would fit the bill, too.
Apart from most obvious choice...
Submariner as stated above I give my vote to Reverso by JLC It's indeed sporty, causal and elegant and God knows there is a plenty variations to choose from Sincerely Damjan P.S. As requested here is picture of my choice ...
Royal oak jumbo.....
That's the finesse choice.....other than that Rolex sub as the obvious choice. Mo
There are many. What are your requirements?
For me the Jumbo is too precious and with 50m of WR too fragile for my life. The Sub is too ubiquitous and divey. But there are many others that work very well across the spectrum--Rolex Explorer 1, Blancpain Aqualung, VC Overseas, IWC Ingenieur, Omega Aq...
I gravitate toward rose gold and yellow gold
but I love this watch. I love the dial. My initial answer to the question posed is there is no one watch for every situation but the platinum Daytona may be as close as it gets. Great looking watch. Stewart
