The short answer

The closest alternative to the Glycine Combat Sub Vintage Bronze is the Christopher Ward C60 Pro 300 ($1,550) — common cross-shop and Shared caliber (Sellita SW200-1). If price is the constraint, the Citizen Promaster Diver Automatic at $469 (vs $1,650 for the Combat Sub Vintage Bronze) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Boldr Expedition II is the standout microbrand take — common cross-shop and Shared caliber (Sellita SW200-1). Stepping up, the Norqain Adventure Sport 42mm Golden Hour Limited Edition ($4,170) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
