The short answer

The closest alternative to the Glycine Men's Combat Sub 42mm Automatic Watch GL0244 is the Glycine Men's Combat Sub 42mm Automatic Watch GL0189 ($1,450) — shared caliber (Sellita SW200-1) and Same family (Combat). If price is the constraint, the Glycine Men's Combat Sub Bronze 42mm Automatic Watch GL0425 at $615 (vs $1,530 for the Men's Combat Sub 42mm Automatic Watch GL0244) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Squale 1521 is the standout microbrand take — common cross-shop and Shared caliber (Sellita SW200-1). Stepping up, the Blancpain Fifty Fathoms Automatique ($19,000) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
