The short answer

The closest alternative to the Glycine Airman Contemporary GMT is the Glycine Airman Purist ($2,750) — shared caliber (Sellita SW330-2) and GMT/traveler. If price is the constraint, the Christopher Ward The Twelve Midnight at $1,210 (vs $2,850 for the Airman Contemporary GMT) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Zelos Spearfish GMT is the standout microbrand take — common cross-shop and Shared caliber (Sellita SW330-2). Stepping up, the Rolex Sky-Dweller ($17,750) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
