Even though it is quartz lunar pilot would be perfect and it is under 1000usd. As you mentioned you dont want to buy somethign expensive but in case you change your mind go for Omega Speedmaster or Rolex Milgauss

I want to service it locally as sending is not that easy

After reading so much about these movements I feel like that baby alpinist Seiko will be the better choicecause it will be cheaper and easier to maintain with local watchmaker.
