With several models available in the Glycine Combat Sub collection, the different bracelets and straps available include: The Glycine Combat Sub is equipped with 200-metre water resistance. This allows you to engage in a number of underwater activities, such as scuba diving at depths not needing helium gas, poolside diving, jet-skiing, snorkelling, and swimming. Some Combat Sub models are even equipped with up to 300 metres of water resistance. Thus, if you’re looking for a smart everyday watch that could also double as a dive watch, the Glycine Combat Sub is an ideal piece for you. Colour Choices The exterior of the watch is satin-brushed on top and well-polished on all sides. The transition between the brushed dial to the polished stainless steel case is finely crafted, and the blue bezel and gold PVD coating adds to the beguiling look of the piece. This piece also comes with three layers of anti-reflective coating, which makes the readability of the watch great regardless of whatever lighting conditions you are in.

The COMBAT SUB 42 GL0200 has a bronze-hued unidirectional turning bezel with an aluminium ring. It is paired with a blue dial and a versatile brown calf leather fabric strap that matches the bezel, crown, and lugs. Its large indices and hands are framed with gold plating to give additional luminescence and visibility when needed. This model also contains an eye-catching red-coloured seconds hand that adds to the watch’s classic look. Glycine has been manufacturing watches since its founding in Bienne, Switzerland, in 1914. They’re probably best known for their Airman line of pilot and GMT watches, which were used extensively by the US military and even taken into space. The Combat line, including the Sub dive watch, has been in production since 1967.

The landscape of modern dive watch design is a crowded one. It’s such a popular genre that most manufacturers have at least one example in their lineup. Many brands try hard to present something different, something to make their watch more compelling than the competition, and some go the homage route. While the watch in review today is not revolutionary in design or specifications, I very much feel that the attention given to this one makes it stand out head and shoulders above many other good dive watches. Something that always jumps out at me about this watch is how clear and legible it is, and some of this is due to the completely flat AR-coated (inside) sapphire crystal, as with no curves at the edges and no dome reflections it’s almost completely invisible even from sharp angles. While I like a domed crystal as much as anyone, I think the flat crystal on this watch is a great decision. The dial itself is a lovely matte gray, with a 24 hour scale inside the lumed indices.

The thin golden crown of the Glycine Combat Sub bears the logo of the brand. It is built to provide additional protection to the watch, which is great if you regularly go out for outdoor activities, as it can withstand greater impacts. BezelThe Glycine Combat Sub 48 models are the newest additions to this collection. The watches below are also powered by the highly precise GL224 Swiss automatic movement: Whether you are a beginner or a long-time watch collector, you have to be well-informed about the watch that you are planning to buy. Learn about its brand, movement, materials used, case size, etc. Know where and how it is made so that you will know exactly what you are paying for. In the past few years, the Glycine Combat Sub has become one of the most in-demand watches on the market. Since its release in 2016, it has become one of Glycine’s top collections, with unique features and excellent craftsmanship that enables it to remain competitive in the crowded dive watch market. The stainless steel case ranges from 42mm to 48mm in diameter, depending on which model you’re looking at. The range of case sizes offered is enough to fit wrists of all sizes. The 50mm lug to lug tip is well-fitted and guaranteed to match the way the case spans across the wrist. The sides of the lugs are cleanly polished, giving the watch a well-built, professional look. The Glycine Combat Sub 46 timepieces are the medium-sized models of the series. Just like other Combat Sub watches, these models are powered by the GL224 Swiss automatic movement.
