Certina / Davosa / Glycine / Oris / Steinhart ?

[sideways sid]

I’m considering buying a diver's watch. Ideally automatic, with date, clear to read, durable and chunky but comfortable.

I specifically prefer faces without numerals, and have a minor irritation when I see a date in a smaller font than the numbers on the bezel!

A look online produces candidates from the manufacturers listed, within budget. Alternatively, I can buy a Seiko for less than half the price of most of the others.

Does anyone have any thoughts or experiences on these, or alternatives? Both which to buy, or - perhaps more valuably - which not to buy.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the help guys.

The Steinharts seem like a good choice, partially as they're available with the date bubble, but following the glowing endorsements, I'll go and look at an Oris Aquis in a shop.
