The short answer

The closest alternative to the Glycine Men's Airman Vintage The Chief Purist 40mm Automatic Watch GL0469 is the Glycine Men's Airman Vintage The Chief GMT 40mm Automatic Watch GL0303 ($905) — shared caliber (Sellita SW330-2) and Same family (Airman). If price is the constraint, the Orient Diver Design 40 at $395 (vs $905 for the Men's Airman Vintage The Chief Purist 40mm Automatic Watch GL0469) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Out of Order 10th ANNIVERSARY - ULTRA BRUSHED is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (Sellita SW330-2) and Pro diver. Stepping up, the Glycine Men's Airman GMT 46mm Automatic Watch GL0060 ($2,825) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
