Sellita

Sellita's flagship automatic movement and the most widely used Swiss automatic caliber in production today, having filled the supply gap created by ETA's restrictions on third-party sales. A functional clone of the ETA 2824-2, it is dimensionally identical and shares the same parts compatibility. Available in multiple grades from Standard to Top, the SW200-1 powers watches from dozens of Swiss and international brands.

02The community take

Owners talk.

“

Owners widely praise the Glycine Combat Sub Box Ceramic for its exceptional thinness at 10.4mm for a 42mm diver, perfect proportions for small wrists, and unique, non-homage aesthetic, with some considering it the best dive watch under $400 due to its superior finishing and value. The case shape, dimensions, and drilled lugs are also highlighted as positives, and the dial is legible with good lume on the hands. However, reviewers and owners consistently flag sub-par lume on the markers that fades quickly, and an inconsistent power reserve. Some owners report the stock strap or bracelet is subpar, and one owner experienced the bezel detaching after a light bump, questioning build quality. Accuracy figures vary, with one owner noting it runs about 2.5 seconds fast per day, while another reports an inconsistent power reserve. On balance, owners rate the Glycine Combat Sub Box Ceramic highly for its thinness, unique design, and value, despite concerns about lume and strap quality.
