 Seikos, Citizen and the like rule this market segment if you're talking about automatics.  Heck you can by Ti Samurais all day from Higuchi-san for under $300.  I believe the Seiko Spirit is in that ballpark, too (Grand Seiko look on a beer budget at ~$260):

I've got a 200m Orient diver that I love, but the Ti Aviator "Slide Rule" watch that I bought felt/looked cheap, so I sold it.

On the dive watch front, St. Moritz makes some impressive stuff if you don't mind quartz.

Some of the Tissot autos can be had around that price, too.  Then there is Poljot/Buran/Stuhrmanskie.  Junkers, too.

There are lots of options, they just take a little more work than bopping over to *NBC.com.........
