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 Aquaterra, etc. For me, the JLC Master Compressor Dualmatic has proved to be an excellent "one-watch"--plenty of WR, rugged and very accurate movement, GMT complication and timing bezel, thin and dressy enough to work with in a variety of situations.
I used to have the Chopard LUC Sport 2000--again, somewhat dressier, but an exceptional "one-watch". But I have another rarer watch that also functions well: the MIH. With annual calendar, mono pusher chronograph, titanium case and 100m of WR it is also perfectly suited to any number of circumstances while also flying under the radar. No one except well informed watch nuts even know what it is.
So it's up to you--what features do you require? What complications appeal to you? What case materials and designs do you like?
Best,
Daniel
