The short answer

The closest alternative to the Glycine Men's Combat Sub Sport 42mm Automatic Watch GL0486 is the Glycine Men's Combat Sub 42mm Automatic Watch GL0249 ($1,530) — shared caliber (Sellita SW200-1) and Same family (Combat). If price is the constraint, the Glycine Men's Combat Sub Box Ceramic 41mm Automatic Watch at $705 (vs $1,650 for the Men's Combat Sub Sport 42mm Automatic Watch GL0486) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Oceaneva Deep Marine Explorer II 1250M Black IP is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (Sellita SW200-1) and Pro diver. Stepping up, the Bremont S502 ($5,100) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
