It might be nice to know what your line of work is to make any sensible suggestion. Where I work only a Casio G-Shock or a very rugged Seiko diver would make any sense as the environment I work in is very dusty and we also handle quite a lot of chemicals and solvents(I work in a glue factory btw). I would suggest looking into some models made by Sinn or a Omega Railmaster would also be very nice on a leather strap.

This is my dress for work watch:

A classic look at 40mm. The finish is great and it is COSC accurate.

I think they do but it may be a different model. I instead, bought myself a black strap to go with my Oris Artelier Skeleton. It also came with the dark brown strap. With the black strap it looks great with a suit.

PS I have a Baume Formula Quartz Chrono.
It runs well and looks nice BUT they are VERY overpriced
for what they are.

I would really have to say Sinn or Oris

I do not own either but would like to get a Sinn someday.

What about a leather strap Concord. They make a fine swiss watch. Back in the early 1980's they along with Rolex were the watch to have.
