Glycine Combat GL1014 Men's Quartz Watch - 42mm

Product Information

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. Glycine has explored an assortment of different colour combinations in their watches to come up with a wide range of options for the Combat Sub. Whether it’s the Combat Sub’s straps, bezels, or dials, you will have an array of choices that you can customise to create with your perfect watch. Here are the colour choices offered:

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. Unusually for me, I don’t wear this watch on the bracelet very often, because with the downswept lugs it looks and wears wonderfully on a NATO strap. Final Thoughts 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 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 EHI seal is awarded after successful testing by the EHI Retail Institute, a scientific institute, whose 550 members international trading companies and their fallow associations, manufacturers of consumer and capital goods, and various service includes and confirms the following facts:

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 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.

The Movement

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.
