Combat

The Glycine Combat series has earned a loyal following for delivering Swiss-made tool watches with a military heritage at an approachable price point. Originally designed for active duty use, the Combat line blends utilitarian design with everyday wearability, making it a standout in Glycine’s catalog. Its 42mm case offers a commanding wrist presence without feeling cumbersome, appealing to those who want a substantial yet comfortable diver-inspired watch.

Within the Combat range, reference numbers like GL0083 (automatic, black dial, stainless steel bezel) and GL0094 (blue dial, aluminum bezel) are popular, each offering unique dial and bezel combinations. Most models house the reliable GL224 automatic movement (based on ETA 2824-2), providing hacking seconds and a 38-hour power reserve. Variants differ in lume color, bezel material, and strap options, all of which can influence secondary market prices—full kits with original bracelets and boxes typically command a premium.

Combat models offer 200 meters of water resistance and a screw-down crown, making them suitable for both daily wear and light aquatic use. When shopping, consider the specific reference and dial/bezel configuration that suits your style, as limited editions or discontinued colorways can be harder to source and may carry a higher price. Factory-finished cases and original bracelets are valued by collectors; swapped bezels or aftermarket straps are common but can affect desirability for purists.
