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.
