The short answer
The closest alternative to the Glycine Men's Airman Contemporary GMT 42mm Automatic Watch GL0490 is the Glycine Men's Airman Contemporary Purist 42mm Automatic Watch GL0491 ($2,700) — shared caliber (Sellita SW330-2) and Same family (Men's). If price is the constraint, the Glycine Men's Airman GMT 42mm Automatic Watch GL0069 at $905 (vs $2,700 for the Men's Airman Contemporary GMT 42mm Automatic Watch GL0490) covers most of the same brief.
