As everyone has said, 2 timepieces are your best bet. What people aren't saying is timepieces are a personal choice, much like a pocket square or tie. We can give you tons of recommendations (Patek this, Rolex that) but ultimately you need to find what you like. A good starting point would be a few books, like About Time, The Watch or Wristwatch Annual 16.
That said, there are TONS of smaller brands and independent manufacturers that would easy fit within your budget but only someone that is interested in timepieces would know or care about.
If you don't have time, I'm sure someone on here would be happy to get together, learn your personal taste, and arrange a try on session to help you find the right timepiece for you. I know of a shop in my area that would be perfect, but it depends on where you live.
Good luck with the search! Make sure to come back and let us know what you settled on, with pictures of course.
