The short answer
The closest alternative to the Glycine Airman Purist is the Glycine Airman Contemporary GMT ($2,850) — shared caliber (Sellita SW330-2) and GMT/traveler. If price is the constraint, the Seiko Prospex Sea Save the Ocean Special Edition at $625 (vs $2,750 for the Airman Purist) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Formex Reef GMT is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (Sellita SW330-2) and Looks nearly identical. Stepping up, the Rolex Sky-Dweller ($17,750) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
