The short answer

The closest alternative to the Glycine Men's Airman Worldtimer 42mm Quartz Watch GL1038 is the Glycine Men's Airman Worldtimer 42mm Quartz Watch GL1039 ($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 42mm Quartz Watch GL1038) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Out of Order 44mm Classic is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (Ronda 515) and Pro diver. Stepping up, the Grand Seiko SBGP015 ($3,800) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
