Condition Report

The watch is in good pre-owned condition, with scratches and other signs of normal wear visible on the case, bezel, bracelet and clasp. These traces are consistent with regular use and complement the practical character of this diver.

The dial remains attractive and clearly legible, while the burgundy bezel gives the watch a particularly distinctive appearance. Please examine the photographs carefully, as they form an essential part of the description.

Although the watch carries a 200-metre water-resistance rating and is equipped with a screw-down crown, its water resistance has not been tested. Contact with water should therefore be avoided until the watch has been professionally pressure-tested.

Story & Heritage

Founded in Switzerland in 1914, Glycine earned recognition for producing reliable mechanical watches designed for professionals and adventurers. The company’s history is closely connected with aviation and military-inspired timepieces, while the Combat SUB line brought that functional philosophy into the world of diving watches.

This example captures the spirit of the collection beautifully. Its stainless-steel construction, automatic movement and substantial 42 mm case give it the strength expected from a capable diver, while the unusual burgundy bezel adds warmth and individuality to the classic black dial.

Equally suited to everyday wear, travel or a growing collection of Swiss sports watches, this Glycine Combat SUB offers genuine character, dependable mechanical appeal and an attractive configuration that stands apart from more conventional dive watches.
