The Glycine Combat Sub is a diver for people who like a substantial dial without a towering case. The familiar 42mm automatic is notably slim by dive-watch standards, slipping under a cuff more readily than its broad, purposeful face suggests. Its straightforward handset, rotating bezel, and restrained case give it a practical character without making it anonymous.

Start with that 42mm version if thinness is the attraction, but pay attention to the long lugs: the case diameter alone doesn’t tell you how it will sit on your wrist. The smaller Combat Sub 39 is worth seeking out if those proportions feel stretched. Movement descriptions also deserve a careful read. Glycine’s GL224 designation has covered both ETA 2824-2 and Sellita SW200-1 bases, so that designation by itself won’t settle which supplier is inside.
