For a simple, white faced watch to be worn on a black strap, I really like the design of this IWC:

Or - at about 1/100th the price(!) - these Seikos:

What other, similarly styled models do you know of? Designs without date also welcome.

Have you seen Stova watches?They are a bit thicker but a nice plain face.

IWC might be 100 times the price, but the portofino is BEAUTIFUL

That Seiko on the left looks great.
Have you looked at the Stowa Antea?

I've got the Antea 39 on the steel bracelet and would thoroughly recommend it. However, the Marine Original is supposed to be the poor man's IWC: similar aesthetic, fraction of the cost.

Are those Seikos vintage? Can you point me to a source? Cheers.

If you don't care for the status, go with the Seiko. They are fine automatic watches! Even Tissot Le Locle is a nice cheap watch with an ETA movement. I wouldn't support high pricing watch companies that annually demand more and more for the same watch although they don't make better watches!
