Timeworks in Philly has one (or did the last time I was there). The Chryos looks better in person than in pictures (as does the Cartouche). The dial is gorgeous, and the casework is stunning, plus it's a great buy. The hands are very visible and easily read, and it would fit your intended uses, with the right strap. With a dark brown strap it can do double duty. With a black strap it's far more dressy.
I found the Chyros to sit too high on my wrist, but I have a 6.75" wrist and this may not be a problem for you. The strap is 19 mm wide, a bit on the thin side, and the angle of the lugs and shape of the caseback do not do much to reduce the perceived height of the watch. But the fit is something you really need to assess in person; measured dimensions and pictures do not tell the full story. For example, I tried on a similarly styled but larger watch that I could not afford, the Zenith El Primero chronograph, and to my surprise it fit my wrist much better (but not my budget) It all depends on many small variables and your unique anatomy.
I ended up very happy, with the silver-dialed Cartouche, and a different strap. This combo is as versatile as one could imagine, easily working with either a suit or pair of jeans. I think the silver & dark brown is what does it.
