The short answer

The closest alternative to the Glycine Combat Sub Vintage is the Christopher Ward C60 Pro 300 ($1,550) — common cross-shop and Shared caliber (Sellita SW200-1). If price is the constraint, the Orient M-Force AC0L at $605 (vs $1,750 for the Combat Sub Vintage) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Echo/Neutra 1956 3H is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (Sellita SW200-1) and Pro diver. Stepping up, the Norqain Adventure Sport 42mm Golden Hour Limited Edition ($4,170) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
