The short answer

The closest alternative to the Glycine Combat Sub is the Christopher Ward C60 Trident Pro 300 ($1,095) — common cross-shop and Shared caliber (Sellita SW200-1). If price is the constraint, the Orient AC0Q-40 Diver Watch at $370 (vs $1,850 for the Combat Sub) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Boldr Expedition II is the standout microbrand take — common cross-shop and Shared caliber (Sellita SW200-1). Stepping up, the Breitling Avenger Automatic GMT ($4,800) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
