The short answer

The closest alternative to the Glycine Men's Combat Sub 42mm Automatic Watch GL0534 is the Christopher Ward C60 Trident Reef ($995) — common cross-shop and Shared caliber (Sellita SW200-1). If price is the constraint, the Glycine Men's Combat Sub Vintage Bronze 42mm Automatic Watch GL0265 at $615 (vs $1,530 for the Men's Combat Sub 42mm Automatic Watch GL0534) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Vero Watch Company Open Water 41 is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (Sellita SW200-1) and Tool diver. Stepping up, the Breitling Superocean Automatic ($5,700) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
