The closest alternative to the Glycine Men's Airman Contemporary GMT 42mm Automatic Watch GL0499 is the Glycine Men's Airman Contemporary Purist 42mm Automatic Watch GL0498 ($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 $2,500 for the Men's Airman Contemporary GMT 42mm Automatic Watch GL0499) covers most of the same brief.
