From what you are asking.. I'd go with a Breitling with a leather band. Its is very casual yet prominent. People who know watches will respect that choice of watch.

i'm in the jewelry business, and see many people wear watches to try gaining status (especially rolex). When a young guy wears a Breitling, you can tell he likes quality stuff but doesn't chase after a name.
Invicta is a bullshit watch btw. So is Movado.
