Absolutely love this watch! This is my sixth Glycine Airman - each a different Airman model.
As with all Glycine Airman GMT models, thanks to it's GMT hand and rotatable 24 hour bezel, it can be used to simultaneously track three separate time zones. One time zone is tracked with the regular 12 hr hour hand, read against the non-numerical white/lumed indices on the main dial. Two more time zones can be tracked with the red-tipped 24 hr GMT hand - with one time zone read against the 24 hour chapter ring on the main dial and with the other time zone read against the separately settable, rotatable 24 hour bezel. The ability to track three time zones at a glance is a feature I find extremely useful on all the Glycine Airman GMT models, including this one. (The separate "lower" screw down crown is used to lock the bezel in place so that it doesn't inadvertently get moved from the user-selected position.)
But it is the real bronze case on this one that is probably what makes it my favorite Glycine Airman. The brownish gradient (toward the center) brown dial and "bronze-ish/gold" dial markings all perfectly compliment the bronze case. And it has been a joy watching all the real bronze metal gradually "grow" its patina. As my two photos below show, it arrived a sparkling bright bronze (sealed, BTW, in airtight plastic so the patina process wouldn't begin prematurely) and has since "matured" into a rich dark brown coppery-bronze unique work of art.
I love this one.
I have 12 Glycines and this ones won't disappoint you at all.
The watch has the glycine DNA and looks the part.
The Bronze case / Brown dial combo is a killer.
The way the patina is forming is a breaking point to fall in love with it
Even compared to watches that costed me 30 times more the watch still looks very nice.
I may even get the blue dial one if it goes for sale on mass drop
Great product
My second Glycine from Massdrop. This bronze Airman is a keeper. Wishing the lume was better but Glycine not known for that. I would like to pick up a Ball Hydrocarbon Engineer next but Massdrop prices not great with Ball pricing. Come on Massdrop, work on this for us watch collectors!!!!!!!!!!!
Highly recommended this watch, despite its size, it's very comfortable on the wrist, has good wrist presence, with a nice movement. Mine is developing a nice patina, the supplied strap is a nice comfortable soft leather. My only negative about the watch is the lume isn't all that bright and doesn't last long.
