The short answer

The closest alternative to the Glycine Airman No. 1 Purist is the Glycine Airman No. 1 GMT ($2,800) — shared caliber (Sellita SW330-2) and GMT/traveler. If price is the constraint, the Christopher Ward C63 Sealander Automatic at $1,430 (vs $2,800 for the Airman No. 1 Purist) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Farer GMT is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (Sellita SW330-2) and GMT/traveler. Stepping up, the Rolex Datejust ($7,700) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
