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. 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 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. 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.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.

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. 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 When setting a budget, you have to know what you are looking for in a watch and how much you are willing to spend. 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.WATCHES.AG is rated for the fourth consecutive year with an excellent credit standing.

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 MovementAdditionally, 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.
