The short answer
The closest alternative to the Glycine Airman Vintage The Chief GMT is the Glycine Airman Vintage The Chief Purist ($2,900) — shared caliber (Sellita SW330-2) and GMT/traveler. If price is the constraint, the Christopher Ward C63 Sealander GMT at $1,675 (vs $2,900 for the Airman Vintage The Chief GMT) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the DuFrane Watches Littlefield 39mm GMTMechanical Watch is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (Sellita SW330-2) and GMT/traveler. Stepping up, the Rolex Explorer II ($10,600) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
