Glycine Combat Sub Sport 42, reference GL0328, in the distinctive brown colorway. This is one of the most visually compelling references in Glycine’s long-running Combat Sub line — a Swiss-made automatic diver with vintage-inspired aesthetics, exceptional slim case proportions, and a build quality that punches well above its price point. This example is mint and unworn, complete with original Glycine box and full paperwork.

The Combat Sub Sport 42 in brown is one of those references that feels far more expensive than its price suggests. The all-brown colorway — brown bezel, brown dial, brown strap, gold-tone hands and indices — creates a coherent, vintage-inspired aesthetic that stands apart from the typical black-or-blue dive watch field. The beige minute track and gold-tone handset complete a deliberately retro presentation that recalls vintage 1960s and 1970s tool watches without being a heavy-handed homage.

At just 10.6mm thick, the Combat Sub is one of the slimmest 200m automatic dive watches in production today.  The combination of slim profile and 200m water resistance makes this one of the most versatile divers you can buy.

Under the dial sits the a Sellita SW200-1 base movement, the modern industry standard alternative to the legendary ETA 2824. Running at 28,800 vph with 26 jewels and a 38-hour power reserve, it is a proven, reliable, easily serviced workhorse caliber used by dozens of respected Swiss brands. Critically, the Combat Sub features a sapphire crystal with triple-layer anti-reflective coating on the underside — a finishing detail rarely found at this price point and a noticeable upgrade in dial legibility under direct light.
