The short answer

The closest alternative to the Glycine Men's Combat Sub 42mm Automatic Watch GL0529 is the Glycine Men's Combat Sub 42mm Automatic Watch GL0087 ($1,450) — shared caliber (Sellita SW200-1) and Same family (Men's). If price is the constraint, the Glycine Men's Combat Sub Vintage Bronze 42mm Automatic Watch GL0265 at $615 (vs $1,450 for the Men's Combat Sub 42mm Automatic Watch GL0529) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Nuncier The Wrong Wrist Edition 40.5mm is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (Sellita SW200-1) and Tool diver. Stepping up, the DOXA SUB 300 Carbon ($4,390) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
