Mercedes or BMW? etc....

Check out the Seamaster Pro vrs its competition comparison on this website. There, you will read some pros and cons of the watches you are considering (except the Sea Dweller).

Asking such an open question will bring LOTS of opinions, but its almost impossible to give a conclusive answer.

This is an Omega forum, so chances are there will be a little bias in favor of the Seamaster. Truth be told, it is the watch to beat when it comes to what you are getting in terms of price and quality.

The Sea Dweller is considered by many as THE diving watch, and it is very difficult to get any more rugged than this. It will certainly keep up with anyone, but is it asthetically pleasing for YOU? Although generally watches are not considered good investments, Rolex watches tend to hold their value better.

Any of the watches you mention will likely serve your purpose well, and with proper care, last way beyond your career. Read, research, go to a watch store and try all of them on. Afterwards you will know which is the best one for YOU.
