really a beautiful watch but with 2 major problems:
1. they like to use the term 'combat' which carries with it SOME responsibility. having a 'combat' chronograph with subdial & seconds hands that have NO lume is IMO potentially fraud if you ask me. the hour/minute hands as it is have so little lume it is merely a decoration. 2. in the same vein, calling this a 'combat' watch when it has the same water resistancy as a dress watch is mystifying. what type of combat are we talking about, chess in the park?
it's simply a lovely watch, gorgeous classic design, but misstating (nice term for not telling the truth) about what you're getting to fool people into thinking they're getting a different category timepiece is not cool. i'm a big fan of glycine quality, heritage and designs, but they're marketing dept. is better off in the used car industry.
as a note, i have recently purchased a glycine combat sub aquarius diver, now THAT's a combat watch, as are their normal combat subs. as said, love the brand, but the marketing is, in my personal opinion, off the mark on this watch. they may think using 'classic' in the name gets them off the hook, but i know of no vintage 'combat' chronos that had unlumed hands unless you go back before the 50s or thereabouts, and this case style is clearly a 7750 chrono design from the 70s (when the movement came into being)...so by its own 'classic' definition, the lume issue fails.
sorry to put a sour note on what is a very nice watch for the office.

tbjsYou'll have to ask Glycine.
One guess, "Combat" encompasses all aspects of the types of forces used. "Airman" does not necessarily imply a military role.
Regardless, if a watch looks good to me, serves a purpose and works reliably, I'm good regardless of the name.

Since the silver dial is all that's left at this point (8:55 AM PST), looks like I will remain the only guy on the planet who doesn't own a Glycine Combat Classic.
Pity...

Blue dial version should have the brown strap and the black dial should have the black strap. Just my opinion, but when I’m spending $800 on a watch I don’t want to have to spend another $40+ for a strap to match.

Thanks for the eBay advice. I love the watch. It matches well with everything I wear, casual and formal.

And once again another Glycine. Within this week we will see another Seiko, panzera, orient, victorinox. It's the same Damn brands every week. MassFlop is getting extremely boring. Who wants the same 5 or 6 brands to complete their watch collection. There are hundreds of brands out there!!!

At this point, I would welcome Swatch over any of the brands that Massdrop has worn out...
