The short answer

The closest alternative to the Glycine Men's Combat Sub 42mm Automatic Watch GL0186 is the Glycine Men's Combat Sub 42mm Automatic Watch GL0529 ($1,450) — shared caliber (Sellita SW200-1) and Same family (Men's). If price is the constraint, the Glycine Men's Combat Sub Vintage Bronze 42mm Automatic Watch GL0265 at $615 (vs $1,530 for the Men's Combat Sub 42mm Automatic Watch GL0186) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Squale Master is the standout microbrand take — common cross-shop and Shared caliber (Sellita SW200-1). Stepping up, the Breitling Superocean Automatic ($5,700) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
