The short answer

The closest alternative to the Glycine Men's Airman Worldtimer 42mm Quartz Watch GL1040 is the Glycine Men's Airman Worldtimer GMT 42mm Quartz Watch GL1031 ($1,395) — shared caliber (Ronda 515) and Same family (Men's). If price is the constraint, the Citizen Promaster Skyhawk U830 at $596 (vs $1,395 for the Men's Airman Worldtimer 42mm Quartz Watch GL1040) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Whitby Watch Co. Ambassador is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (Ronda 515) and Looks nearly identical. Stepping up, the Bremont MBIII ($5,450) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
