Glycine Sea KrakenvsMarch LA.B Belza Automatique

The Glycine Sea Kraken is widely praised for its retro design and excellent finishing for its price point. Owners highlight its crisp dial printing, elegant stainless steel bezel, and the smooth winding feel of its Sellita SW200-1 movement, with accuracy reported between +1/+2 and +6 seconds per day, though one owner noted it could lose up to 6 seconds when very active. The 39mm case size is generally considered comfortable, though some find its 48mm lug-to-lug measurement wears larger than expected. The included leather strap is frequently criticized as being of poor quality and unsuitable for a dive watch, prompting many owners to replace it. The Glycine Sea Kraken is considered an underrated watch offering great value, especially given its limited production and superior finishing compared to other Glycine models.

Owners recommend the March LA.B Belza Automatique for its design-forward, daring, and unusual timepiece aesthetic. The La Joux-Perret G100 automatic movement is noted as well-decorated. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the March LA.B Belza Automatique highly for its distinctive, '70s-inspired design.
