Glycine Combat GL1014 Men's Quartz Watch - 42mm

Product Information

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

Drilled lugs are a great feature on this watch as well, as is the crown size- large enough to feel substantial, but not too large for the watch’s svelte profile. The crown guards likewise are nicely swept and beveled on top, coming almost to points and providing protection without adding visual bulk.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. Additionally, the GL224 Swiss automatic movement is not used in all of the Combat Sub watches. The timepieces in this collection can be classified into three different categories, each with its own type of movement: The TrustedWatch GmbH is the leading media enterprise for the watch and jewelery sector in Europe. The new label "Buyers Beware" and "Trusted Dealer" from TrustedWatch indicate not only his regular customers but just interested new customers reliability and safety. 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. A date window sits at 3:00 and is perfectly color-matched to the dial. The handset is well lumed, simple, and legible, and I like the bit of flare with the boxy second hand. Lume on this watch is excellent; not Seiko-flashlight-like, but more than adequate throughout an entire night. The Movement

We want to give you the confidence therefore you soon among our customers. More than 25,000 satisfied customers can not be wrong. The Combat Sub primarily features a three-linked stainless steel bracelet with a slightly curved shape. The typical micro-adjustments can be found on the clasp, along with milling, signed, push-button clasp to help it fit on anyone’s wrist well. The bracelet measures about 20mm to 22mm in length. That being said, the Combat Sub offers a wide variety of straps that come in different materials and colours, so you can simply select a different style according to your desired preferences.

The Bracelet

The 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: WATCHES.AG is rated for the fourth consecutive year with an excellent credit standing. The Bisnode credit certificate honors companies for a stable economic enterprise situation. 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. Powering the watch is of course the classic, reliable Swiss ETA 2824 automatic movement, although Glycine refers to it as the GL224. Not much needs to be said about these movements; they are tough, refined, and capable of excellent accuracy. When I bought my Combat Sub it was keeping time at +20 spd, which is within spec and not terrible, but with a bit of easy regulation (done by myself- my first time opening up an automatic watch) it keeps time consistently at +6spd. Assuming you are not a watch collector but a wearer seeking a functional everyday watch, be familiar with your daily needs. If you tend to spend most of your time indoors and rarely engage in physical activity, you would likely prefer to wear a classic dress watch. If you’re regularly engaging in outdoor activities and sports events, then you might want to look at a sports watch like the Glycine Combat Sub instead.

The Swiss ETA 2824 automatic movement powers most of the timepieces in this collection. Others refer to this movement as the GL224 Swiss automatic movement. It is a high-performing calibre movement that has been proven to have high accuracy and reliability. One added advantage of the 2824 automatic movement is that it is a popular one, used by many brands for their watches. So, if by any chance something goes wrong with your movement, it is extremely easy to find an experienced watchmaker capable of fixing your 2824 automatic movement. Automatic – used by modern watches that wind automatically using the kinetic energy from your wrist. 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. Bezel

The Dial

The certificate is awarded under strict conditions. Basis for calculating the solvency index, a statistically determined value. He recorded in figures the risk of companies to be either insolvent within the next 12 months or entirely cease activities without all the creditors are paid. So solvency is documented and made comparable. Additionally, the Combat Sub offers three layers of anti-reflection coating on its sapphire crystal. This is a serious edge over other brands since the Combat Sub’s sapphire crystal is well built with no curved or dome reflections even at sharp angles, making for excellent readability. As a tool watch I wouldn’t hesitate to take it on an actual dive – the stiffness and thinness of the bezel is the only thing that would give me pause, as all bezels are more difficult to operate with wet or gloved hands. For everyday wear, it sits low enough on the wrist that it doesn’t attract doorknobs or hard edges.
