The Glycine Airman, the first watch capable of tracking two 24-hour time zones, has been used extensively in commercial and military aviation, as well as in spaceflights; notable examples include its use by United States Air Force pilots during the Vietnam War and astronaut Pete Conrad during the Gemini 5 and Gemini 11 spaceflights.

Community Reviews

Glycine Combat and Airman watches stand out as slim, comfortable Swiss automatics with strong fit and finish, especially for daily wear. The Sellita movement at this price is a solid value, and buying direct adds the full manufacturer warranty. The main knocks are weak lume on the Combat Sub and the need to ignore the inflated MSRP marketing, since $360 to $400 seems closer to the real street price. The Chief also gets praise for its slim, clean look, though the 24 hour dial takes some getting used to.

Common Questions (4)

  • Yes. The Combat models wear very well at under 11mm thick, and the thin case makes them comfortable enough for daily wear. The fit and finish is also described as exceptional for the price.

    PoorFatKidambuletz

  • The $1,000+ MSRP is not the typical street price for these watches; $360-$400 seems to be the normal range. The watches are still considered solid at that actual selling price.

    OrangeCemetery2327ElGeFe

  • Buying directly from Glycine can be advantageous because it includes the full manufacturer warranty. Similar pricing may be available from Ashford, but the direct purchase keeps the warranty intact.

    manwhowalks

  • The lume is reportedly weak on the Combat Sub. The tradeoff is a very comfortable, thin case that makes it a strong daily wear watch.

ok then im gonna create a watch brand called Glycerine. watch costs 5000 dollars but i'll discount it 5000-4950=$50. please buy.
Sure, put a genuine Swiss Sellita SW200 movement in it or an LJP-G100 and I'll buy it, I'll buy it for $360 like this Glycine.

The pricing BS is all Invicta, but the watches themselves are still solid at the actual price they sell for. Ten years out from invicta buying them, Glycine is still a quality brand, you just need to ignore the inflated pricing stuff.

I hate you guys seriously making me consider grabbing a piece, but I told myself I just wouldn't go back after switching to the functionality of Garmin

My glycine Incursor California dial remains one of my favorites

The shadow Gray vintage combat ceramic 41 NATO has my interest - if only it was gilded

I just can't bring myself to spend that much knowing that they are now owned by Invicta. Soon the MSRP will be $8,000 on sale for $199. Just not a big fan of the super inflated MSRP marketing.
Glycine is different. They've been making watching for over 100 years. I was put off as soon as I found this out as well but later found out Invicta lets them do their own thing for the most part and most importantly, they're quality watches. Of course every watch, even a Rolex, has an artificially inflated price by the manufacturer. But unlike Invicta branded watches, these are well made and are actually worth their original MSRP.

Needs more bling bling
I don't get it. This watch seems to be a good combo quality+design+materials for the price. Why try to make it stand out any more? It's not a luxury brand so why try to make it so. It's like people putting 24" gold-tone wheels and a purple wrap on Chrysler 300 because they can't afford a Bentley. For the folks that want bling for bling sake, hop on over to aliextpress for affordable Richard Mille bling [aliexpress.us]

You're kinda right. Many manufacturers make a piece and stick in ETA or other movements and put a name on it. Nothing new.

And guess what, there are probably another hundred quality watch brands you've never heard of lol.
the amount of brands out there are ridiculous. Some loser who works in the cubicle next to me keeps bragging about his Peter Philip watch but it doesn't even have a calendar like my Casio does.

ETA is owned by Swatch and supply mainly their own brands.

Beware - the Combat Sub Sport Bronze models and it seems some of the Airman models use solid CuSn8 bronze in the case whereas other Airman models including the one posted here a couple days ago are stainless steel with a bronze plating.
