The short answer

The closest alternative to the Glycine Men's Combat Sub Bronze 42mm Automatic Watch GL0389 is the Glycine Men's Combat Sub Sport 42mm Automatic Watch GL0486 ($1,650) — shared caliber (Sellita SW200-1) and Same family (Combat). If price is the constraint, the Glycine Men's Combat Sub Sport Bronze 42mm Automatic Watch GL0325 at $615 (vs $1,530 for the Men's Combat Sub Bronze 42mm Automatic Watch GL0389) 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 Breitling Superocean Automatic ($5,700) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
