For your price-range, get a Luminox. I purchased my 8400-series a few months ago and have been extremely pleased with it's ability keep a constant light on the hour/minute hands and around the bezel. It uses some type of micro-gas light technology that will remain illuminated regardless of the charge provided by outside ambient light and does not require a push button to work. Anytime the watch is in a shadow, you can see these little lights on the watch.
They're known more for being dive watches than aviation watches and come with the standard nice watch perks; scratch/water resistant, etc. The only drawback is the black rubber band, while durable, it's hard to dress up. I usually go back to my Tissot if I'm in a formal getup, which is only a handful of times a year.
Side-story: I had just purchased the watch when I went through the night-familiarization brief during the pyhsiology phase of API. Sitting in a pitch black room waiting for my vision to adapt so I could read some (almost) blacked-out powerpoint slides, I had to take the watch off because it was creating a distraction for me and the guy sitting next to me.
