The short answer

The closest alternative to the Glycine Men's Combat Sub Vintage Bronze 42mm Automatic Watch GL0265 is the Stowa Prodiver Vintage 95 Limited — shared caliber (Sellita SW200-1) and Tool diver. If price is the constraint, the Orient FAA02008D9 at $265 (vs $615 for the Men's Combat Sub Vintage Bronze 42mm Automatic Watch GL0265) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Spinnaker Tesei Bronze Swiss is the standout microbrand take — common cross-shop and Shared caliber (Sellita SW200-1). Stepping up, the Glycine Men's Combat Sub Vintage 42mm Automatic Watch GL0291 ($1,530) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
