Since the 60s, Glycine’s combat line has stood out for their athletic design and impressive reliability. Presenting the newest addition to the collection, the Combat SUB 42 Vintage Bronze Green GL0268, a grand vintage diver crafted by Glycine popular for sports and in the military.

Glycine Combat SUB 42 Bronze Vintage Green Ref. GL0268

The Combat Vintage Bronze Green flaunts a 42mm bronze case, gracing this watch with a vibrant retro look. As the CuSn8 marine grade bronze material used undergoes natural oxidisation, its case shows off a patina over time which individualises each timepiece. With a height of 10.6mm, a short lug to lug length of 49.5mm and downward curving lugs, this watch rests handsomely on most wrist sizes.

Powered by a GL224 Swiss automatic movement which is based on either the ETA 2824-2 or SW200-1, operating at 28,800 bph (4 Hertz) with hacking and hand winding capabilities, the Combat Vintage Bronze Green has 25 jewels and a power reserve of 38 hours. This timepiece also features a flat sapphire crystal with three layers of anti-reflective coatings on its underside for greater legibility under any lighting conditions.

CuSn8 Bronze Case with "Sandy" Textured Details

Finished with a full satin-brush, the Combat Vintage Bronze Green sports a unidirectional rotating bezel with a gilt-tone aluminium insert and a screw-down crown at its 3 o’clock which works flawlessly due to a larger screw tube used. This signed bronze crown and its steel screwed case back with “Combat SUB” engraved on it are responsible for this timepiece’s impressive water resistance of 200m.

Admire the sporty matte green dial elevated by a shiny green bezel. This textured dial also flaunts a red date window at its 4 o’clock. Furthermore, its rose gold signature diver handset, Arabic dial indexes and pip at 12 o’clock are painted with light radium brown SuperLuminova that glow green in the dark.

SuperLuminova For Superb Glow-In-The-Dark

The Combat Vintage Bronze Green comes with a 22mm Glycine signed dark green fabric-style calf leather strap and a matching satin-brushed bronze buckle. Entirely hand finished and made in Switzerland, this breath-taking timepiece is the epitome of a reliable vintage diver crafted by Glycine.

The secret to the timeless design of this timepiece is simple. With deep hues of green complementing the patina on its bronze case material for a full vintage effect, this diver boasts an exclusive vintage look that truly is one of a kind. What’s more? The Combat Vintage Bronze Green exhibits excellent value for money and a seamless colour contrast all the way down to its buckle and strap.
