For many, Swiss brand Glycine made their name in the watch world when they supplied US Air Force pilots with their Airman watch during the Vietnam War. It was a functional aviation piece that is loved by
high quality rolex replica aficionados. Since the 19060s the brand has also produced a 'Combat' collection - currently featuring the Classic, Vintage, Chrono and Sub lines - see more here.
For example, at just over 10mm, this is very slim for a legitimate divers watch. With curved lugs hugging the wrist there's been a real attempt to get this 42mm watch to wear smaller. With most divers never making it into the sea, it's refreshing to see a sports watch styled to slip under a shirt cuff.
It has the functionality of a divers watch, with the profile of a dress model.
Stylistically, it's not a homage to the Rolex sub or the Tudor Black Bay. There's enough of Glycine's own styling, particularly with this colourful variation, to warrant a closer look.
I've featured Stuhrling watches in a couple of posts now (more about Stuhrling here). When I've been looking at alternatives to a piece from a Swiss luxury brand there's regularly been a similar styled Stuhrling model. So I've highlighted the odd watch of theirs as we've crossed paths.
