I have a pair of Campy Grand Comp brakes that I might be willing to part with. I don't have any need for them now but am emotionally attached to them, because they were on my first good adult bike, almost 35 years ago. They offer good fender clearance, and can be opened pretty wide, especially when combined with a lever that also has a QR. I think 58mm reach. If memory serves me right I rode them with the old Bluemel fenders and a tire labled 38. I set them with the barrel adjuster at one end & rotated the adjuster to the other end to get the wheel off.
