I was going to say a PreOwned Omega Planet Ocean but the chrono version puts that over your budget. What about a Steelfish?

Steelfish and PO are both good options. A Ti Seawolf would do too.

Chrono is only a nice to have.

SOP is a great beater, but the lume sucks.

I've had a couple. Finding one isn't easy. And the prices seem to have risen. :(

The new Chronospace would answer ALL your parameters, except #3.

I really liked D8's Lum-Tec he recently purchased as a beater. At least I think that's what it was

Bit small but I'm convinced these are good beaters.
