Glycine Airman 18 Automatic Watch

Glycine has been producing timepieces since 1914, a testament to its ability to adapt to the modern world. Perhaps best known for its 24-hour Airman tool watch, Glycine has recreated the vibe of one of its most iconic watches with the Airman 18. While it may look busy, the dial’s throng of numerals, hands, and markers serves a very specific purpose. The watch is capable of tracking time in a whopping three different time zones. The first is your current time zone, indicated by the innermost markers. The independently operated GMT hand tracks the time in two separate time zones: one is shown on the inner ring; the other is indicated by the bidirectional rotating bezel controlled by the screw-down lock at 4 o’clock.

Constructed with a stainless steel case and a sapphire crystal, the Airman 18 is field ready—not to mention it’s water resistant to an impressive 200 meters. It’s fitted with a Sellita SW300-1 based movement, which has a power reserve of 42 hours. The strap is made from thick leather for a solid feel on the wrist. Pull the crown out to the first position and rotate it counterclockwise for quickset date. Rotate it clockwise to adjust the GMT hand (GMT versions only). Pull the crown out to the second position to set the time.
