The short answer

The closest alternative to the Glycine Men's Combat Sub Bronze 42mm Automatic Watch GL0390 is the Glycine Men's Combat Sub Bronze 42mm Automatic Watch GL0425 ($615) — shared caliber (Sellita SW200-1) and Same family (Combat). If price is the constraint, the Orient AA02 Diver Watch at $285 (vs $615 for the Men's Combat Sub Bronze 42mm Automatic Watch GL0390) 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 Bronze 42mm Automatic Watch GL0546 ($1,650) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
