Review:
The Glycine GL0081 is a two tone dive watch in Glycine's Combat Sub line. The watch has the new Glycine Logo at the 12 O'clock position, luminescent markers around each of the numerals, luminescent on the second, minute and hour hands, a date window, a large protected gold plated crown, and a sunburst blue dial. The dial itself is the most striking part of the watch, as it gleams in direct light. The bezel is a 60 click unidirectional rotating bezel for diving or timing, although it would be advisable not to wear this watch in water, as the gold plating may come off, or the stainless steel on the watch might rust. The bezel has a solid feeling and clicks audibly when turned.
The Arabic numerals are easily legible, as are the smaller military time numerals corresponding to each main Arabic numeral. The movement of the watch is Glycine's own in-house movement with a 38-hour power reserve, and the second hand has a nice (albeit not too smooth) sweeping motion. The movement can be hand-wound by the crown, and it appears to be quite accurate. One of the most appealing aspects of the watch is its aesthetic, as the two tone bracelet and bright blue dial are striking and often receive compliments. While the case diameter is listed as 42 millimeters, the watch has a greater presence on the wrist than its size would suggest, possibly due to the shorter lugs. In addition, some buyers may not find the new Glycine logo as appealing as the previous iteration of it; the new logo is reminiscent of the Invicta logo, and the watch itself takes some stylistic cues from other dive watches in Invicta's line. Still, the watch is beautiful, well-made, reliable and versatile enough to be worn for formal or informal occasions. For these reasons, the Glycine GL0081 is recommended by Lion Stationers. It can be purchased from the following vendors:
