The short answer

The closest alternative to the Glycine Men's Airman Contemporary Purist 42mm Automatic Watch GL0463 is the Glycine Men's Airman Contemporary GMT 42mm Automatic Watch GL0462 ($2,700) — shared caliber (Sellita SW330-2) and Same family (Men's). If price is the constraint, the Tissot Seastar 1000 at $875 (vs $2,700 for the Men's Airman Contemporary Purist 42mm Automatic Watch GL0463) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Spinnaker Fleuss is the standout microbrand take — common cross-shop and Pro diver. Stepping up, the Fortis Marinemaster M-44 DLC ($5,450) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
