The short answer

The closest alternative to the Glycine Men's Airman Worldtimer GMT 42mm Quartz Watch GL1028 is the Glycine Men's Airman Worldtimer 42mm Quartz Watch GL1036 ($1,395) — shared caliber (Ronda 515) and Same family (Men's). If price is the constraint, the Tissot T-Race at $650 (vs $1,395 for the Men's Airman Worldtimer GMT 42mm Quartz Watch GL1028) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Out of Order CASANOVA GMT is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (Ronda 515) and Visually similar. Stepping up, the Breitling Endurance Pro ($3,700) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
