The short answer

The closest alternative to the Glycine Men's Airman Purist 42mm Automatic Watch GL0068 is the Glycine Men's Airman GMT 42mm Automatic Watch GL0064 ($905) — shared caliber (Sellita SW330-2) and Same family (Airman). If price is the constraint, the Orient Diver Design 40 at $395 (vs $905 for the Men's Airman Purist 42mm Automatic Watch GL0068) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Formex Reef GMT is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (Sellita SW330-2) and Pro diver. Stepping up, the Glycine Men's Airman GMT 46mm Automatic Watch GL0060 ($2,825) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
