The short answer

The closest alternative to the Glycine Men's Combat Sub Vintage 42mm Automatic Watch GL0290 is the Glycine Men's Combat Sub Vintage 42mm Automatic Watch GL0291 ($1,530) — 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 Vintage 42mm Automatic Watch GL0290) 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 DOXA SUB 300 Carbon ($4,390) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
