The short answer

The closest alternative to the Glycine Men's Airman Vintage The Chief Purist 40mm Automatic Watch GL0415 is the Glycine Men's Airman Vintage The Chief GMT GL03xx Series ($905) — shared caliber (Sellita SW330-2) and Same family (Airman). If price is the constraint, the Orient Bambino Version 2 at $270 (vs $905 for the Men's Airman Vintage The Chief Purist 40mm Automatic Watch GL0415) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Praesidus 38mm Automatic is the standout microbrand take — common cross-shop and Looks nearly identical. Stepping up, the Junghans Meister Worldtimer ($2,450) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
