Product Description
Perhaps best known for its 24-hour Airman tool watch, Glycine has been producing timepieces since 1914. This version of the Airman allows you to track multiple different time zones thanks to the bidirectional rotating bezel and GMT hand Read More
I'm confused by the GMT with the 12-hour sweep. Does this mean the main hour hand sweeps at the normal 12-hour rate with a dial that is marked for 24-hours? That seems confusing and weird.
Brad2021hkThe GMT non-Purist versions have four hands; the fourth hand is the GMT hand that completes a revolution around the dial every 24 hours. You can set this hand to GMT/UTC time, set it to track a different time zone and use the 24 Hour bezel to track a third time zone.
The Pursit version only has three hands, and the hour hand completes a revolution every 24 hours. The Purist version can only track two time zones; the four-hand version can track three time zones.
Brad2021hkThe hour hand makes two revolutions per day so it keep the time in 12hrs format. The GTM hand (the really thin one) is keeping the time in 24hr format so makes a single revolution per day.
What do you guys (and gals) think of this "in-house" movement? Is it worth it? I'm a bit hesitant because of the 21J description. I know some cheap Chinese watches (not that there's anything wrong with them being Chinese, they just happen to be, and in fact there's some great Chinese movements) use a 21-22J calibre (DG2813).
It’s always been a matter up for discussion most people think sellita is the equivalent to eta i personally prefer eta but either way it is a swiss made decent movement
Arrived quicker than I expected in the UK. Very pleased with it. The 44mm is right at the top end of what I'd wear, size wise. Get the feeling you'd need to be a fairly large guy to pull off the 46mm
I actually ending up selling it after about a year of owning it. Not a reflection on the watch - just needing the funds for the next thing.
I'd probably buy again, but if I did I'd probably go for the 42mm (personal preference - the long lugs meant the 44mm felt bigger than I'm comfortable with) and the purist version (just seems closer to the original design and I've gone off "caller gmt" watches vs "true GMT" ones). Couldn't fault the quality and the gradient dial was lovely. Got a lot of compliments from non-watch people if that means anything.
Oh I should add that one thing Glycine is very good at is making a thin sports watch. The low, kettle-shaped case really helps the wearability. The case shape is much more interesting in person that it is in renders.
I purchased a Combat Sub, hoping to get an older model with the drilled lugs and old logo but ended up receiving the newer - post-Invicta purchase model w/o drilled lugs and with the Invicta-ized logo. Mildly bummed here but the watch keeps incredible time - +2/day - and is very comfortable on the wrist, so my complaints are minimal.
BTW - Maltman is the name of the street I live on.
So disappointed...I waited for the blue model...
I saw it on the first picture
I saw the 2 years manufacturer warranty
I was about to choose... and no blue version...
sadly
