I was looking for a diver and I found it. This glycine has filled me since I received it. The manufacturing quality is immediately obvious when you put it on your wrist. The Sellita SW200 that powers it makes it a reliable and robust watch. Speaking of robustness, it is waterproof to 300m. Easy for this summer!!! The unidirectional bezel is well proportioned and this 39mm version fits perfectly on my wrist. It comes with a steel bracelet but I prefer it on NATO. I'm attaching some photos 😉

It is divisive, you either love it or you don't. I love it and for good reason, it was my first automatic watch bought in 2015 during a stroll in Bern in the Swiss capital. It was love at first sight, for her I don't know 🤣. In any case it was the visual that I liked at first glance. This unusual seconds wheel, this open heart and all the visual characteristics of the watch won me over. Once on the wrist... it is a beautiful baby of 47x47 but the square format gives it a less massive appearance. It has a Miyota 82s5 movement. It is designed in Switzerland in Zurich but manufactured in Asia. The majority of the market is in Asia for this brand. . there too it is divisive.. it doesn't bother me at all.. for the rest I leave you some photos. Enjoy reading friends.

Bronze diving watch 20 atm, 42 mm and only 10.6 mm thick. Selita sw200 movement. Steel diving bezel, superb quality of clicks, no play. Blue dial with submariner style indexes and hands, superluminova. Blue ruber strap with bronze buckle. 
Watch of exceptional quality in every way.

Glycine Combat Sub 42 in bronze

After seeing a video on our favorite channel on 5 bronzes where the wisteria was still absent ... I am motivated and start my testimony again after having lost it completely by putting photos .... that is to say my motivation. 
This version is a 42 a little big for me and difficult to find in dark green gradient dial. Custom-made Xamlam bracelet won in the channel competition 
This watch has increased 68% in value but it is unimportant since in terms of watches as well as vintage cars I am unable to resell anything.

A big fan of the Combat Sub glycines, this bronze GL0242 offers us a more "dress watch" side of the usual military diver.

It manages to keep the attributes that make the success of the Combat Sub (case design, indexes with 24-hour reminder, feeling of robustness, perfect visibility, finesse of the watch) and sublimates them in a blue and gold reinterpretation that offers us a watch of absolute class.

The bronze case, which is neither too big nor too small so that the beautiful patina does not take over the watch in general over time.
The lums that are simply incredible, the watch just asks to shine brightly as soon as a little darkness shows its nose (with a date window outline that shines, magnificent)
The discreet but so tasteful gradient on the dial that oscillates between shades of blue, perfectly chosen blue with a combo of dial - indexes / hands - bezel - case - bracelet - buckle colors that I find simply perfect. 
The 120 click bezel with perfect noise and feel.

I find this watch sublime and coupled with the robustness of the Combat Sub this makes it a major watch in a collection.

The little detail that will always fascinate me and makes me smile every time is its way of capturing the lights at the end of the day which create an aura on the dial and plays of colors that transcend the watch.

A little-known side of Combat Sub

My first automatic mechanical watch. To start my watch collection, I wanted to own a low-cost diver. This bronze Glycine reveals a real robustness which, matched with a nato strap, has everything of a sea adventurer! Its deep blue smoked dial echoes its 20 atm water resistance and reminds us that it is made for diving. Two additional assets, the qualitative unidirectional crown and the readability of the indexes whose luminescence is similar to the torches of diving suits. An unbeatable quality-price ratio for this diver.

Cr&eacute;&eacute;e en 2017 par le designer Nicolas Ducoudert, Beaubleu apporte une dimension nouvelle &agrave; l&rsquo;horlogerie en cr&eacute;ant des montres &agrave; la fois esth&eacute;tiques, &eacute;tonnantes et profond&eacute;ment symboliques. Les aiguilles rondes, signature de la Maison, sont le reflet d&rsquo;une singularit&eacute; et d&rsquo;une simplicit&eacute; sophistiqu&eacute;e. Chaque mod&egrave;le arbore un design d&eacute;licieusement contemporain, o&ugrave; chaque d&eacute;tail, chaque surface, interagissent avec la lumi&egrave;re.
Cassant les codes de l'horlogerie traditionnelle en apportant une vision nouvelle du temps, les montres Beaubleu sortent des sentiers battus en arborant des aiguilles rondes et &eacute;vid&eacute;es, inspir&eacute;es des travaux de Galil&eacute;e dans sa compr&eacute;hension du syst&egrave;me solaire. Ces aiguilles affichent de mani&egrave;re po&eacute;tique les heures, qui ne pointent pas un index ni une graduation, mais qui indiquent une position, un instant depuis le centre du cadran.

Created in 2017 by designer Nicolas Ducoudert, Beaubleu brings a new dimension to watchmaking by creating watches that are aesthetic, astonishing and deeply symbolic. The round hands, signature of the House, reflect singularity and sophisticated simplicity. Each model features a deliciously contemporary design, where every detail, every surface, interacts with light.
Breaking the codes of traditional watchmaking by providing a new vision of time, Beaubleu watches go off the beaten track by featuring round, hollowed-out hands, inspired by the work of Galileo in his understanding of the solar system. These hands poetically display the hours, which do not point to an index or a graduation, but which indicate a position, an instant from the center of the dial.
