The Glycine Combat Sub (ref. GL0397) is an automatic diver watch, with a 36mm stainless steel case, 12mm thick, powered by the SW200-1 movement and a 38-hour power reserve. Water resistance is rated to 300m, under a sapphire crystal, with date complications. Manufacturer MSRP is $1,850.
The Glycine Combat Sub is widely praised for its excellent value, thin case height (ranging from 10.4mm to 10.8mm), and comfortable wearability due to downward-curving lugs, with owners noting its quality and finishing punch well above its price point. Reviewers and owners consistently highlight its smooth bezel action, crisp font, and a unique aesthetic that avoids being a direct homage. However, criticisms include sub-par lume that is difficult to read in low light and an inconsistent power reserve, with some owners suggesting it may require servicing. Opinions are split on the 42mm size, with some finding it perfect and others preferring a smaller variant. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Glycine Combat Sub highly for its exceptional thinness and quality finishing at its price point.
