The short answer
The closest alternative to the Glycine Airman Purist is the Christopher Ward C63 Sealander GMT ($1,675) — common cross-shop and Shared caliber (Sellita SW330-2). If price is the constraint, the Seiko 5 Sports Field series at $450 (vs $2,700 for the Airman Purist) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Farer GMT BEZEL is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (Sellita SW330-2) and GMT/traveler. Stepping up, the Bell & Ross BR-05 GMT Sky Blue ($6,264) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
