The short answer

The closest alternative to the Glycine Men's Combat Sub Vintage Bronze 42mm Automatic Watch GL0420 is the Glycine Men's Combat Sub Sport Bronze 42mm Automatic Watch GL0325 ($615) — shared caliber (Sellita SW200-1) and Same family (Combat). If price is the constraint, the Orient Diver Watch at $285 (vs $615 for the Men's Combat Sub Vintage Bronze 42mm Automatic Watch GL0420) 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 GL0389 ($1,530) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
