The Tactical Glycine Combat 6 (Ref. 3890.19AT-LB9)

Glycine Combat 6 (Ref. 3890.19AT-LB9) automatic military watch

The Glycine Combat 6 (Ref. 3890.19AT-LB9) comes in a mid-sized 43 mm case and, with its traditional layout, offers superb readability in any lighting scenario. Combine this with almost unrivaled reliability and robustness of the famous ETA 2824-2 Swiss-made movement (they prefer to list it as Caliber GL 224 in some of their ads) and an affordable price, and you get yourself an absolutely gorgeous "entry-level" pilot's (sort of) timekeeper for a person looking for his or her first "real" Swiss watch.

Military-Style Glycine Incursore Power Reserve 3880

Glycine Incursore Power Reserve DLC (ref. 3880) military-style watch

The 2008 Glycine Incursore Power Reserve DLC (ref. 3880) is an ultimate military gadget: it is as simple, as it is highly legible, and it is as scratch-resistant as it is reliable. It could almost be an ultimate accessory if not its price: charging whole four grands (okay, it's a "recommended" price, but still don't expect to find a watch below the $3200 mark) for a watch that sports nothing more impressive than a mass-market automatic caliber is a bit extreme to me. After all, for the money, you can find a good used Omega in mint condition equipped with a more exclusive movement.
