The short answer

The closest alternative to the Glycine Men's Airman Contemporary GMT 42mm Automatic Watch GL0495 is the Glycine Men's Airman Contemporary GMT 42mm Automatic Watch GL0499 ($2,500) — shared caliber (Sellita SW330-2) and Same family (Men's). If price is the constraint, the Hamilton Khaki Navy Scuba Auto at $975 (vs $2,700 for the Men's Airman Contemporary GMT 42mm Automatic Watch GL0495) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Nomadic Fíor 555 Prestige - 18K Gold (PVD) GMT Watch (41mm) is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (Sellita SW330-2) and Pro diver. Stepping up, the Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean 600M Co Axial Master Chronometer 42mm ($8,600) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
