If you want to take it to the water it is usually recommended that the watch has 10bar (100m) water resistance.

The Breitling Navitimer 01 would tick many of your boxes (Chronograph, (Logscale)Bezel, Date) and is an iconic watch. However you can't swim with it.

Another iconic chronograph is the Zenith El Primero with the tri color dial. It is also WR to 100m.

Then there is the Omega Speedmaster "Man on the Moon" Chronograph.

Tudor also has a few nice watches: Black Bay Chrono, Black Bay Heritage, Black Bay 58, Black Bay GMT, Pelagos.

If you want a fine Quartz watch have a look at Grand Seiko and Citizen Chronomaster. These are High Accuracy Quartz (HAQ) watches which means +/- 5-10 seconds a year depending on the model.

For more classic looking watches have a look at Jaeger LeCoultre. I especially like their Masters collection.
