The short answer

The closest alternative to the Glycine Men's Combat Sub 42mm Automatic Watch GL0530 is the Marathon Jeep Rubicon GSAR ($2,100) — common cross-shop and Shared caliber (Sellita SW200-1). If price is the constraint, the Damasko DSub10 covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Micromilspec Svæveru is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (Sellita SW200-1) and Pro diver. Stepping up, the Fortis Flieger F-41 ($2,530) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
