I wish Glycine would have just left this model alone, it had a certain charm to it when it had the 17 jewel hand wound Unitas 6497 movement.

Buy using a smaller automatic movement just makes the small seconds and date seem out of place.

Agreed!! The manual mechanical does have its charm.

I love almost anything with a unitas 6497 or 6498 in it.

I debated for a long time between the manual Glycine KMU and the Victorinox Air Boss as my first Unitas, finally went for the Air Boss and 45mm is really pushing my size limit, but the modified Unitas it has is awesome!

Definitely not, size-wise and and also to Glycine abandoning the manual Unitas movement.

Yeah but the higher the jewel the more prestige the watch

Me too. I love Swiss 6497/6498 movements.
