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 GL1037 ($1,395) — shared caliber (Ronda 515) and Same family (Men's). If price is the constraint, the Tissot Seastar 1000 at $515 (vs $1,395 for the Men's Airman Worldtimer GMT 42mm Quartz Watch GL1028) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Whitby Watch Co. Ambassador GMT - Aurora is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (Ronda 515) and Pro diver. Stepping up, the Bulova Black Dial EPDM Rubber Strap Series X 98B358 ($4,750) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
