Our take on the Glycine Airman Automatic Men's Watch

The Glycine Airman is a Swiss automatic pilot's watch built around a 24-hour dial, a design the brand introduced in the 1950s for aviators who needed to read time across time zones. It pairs a stainless steel case with a textile strap and a self-winding movement, so it needs no battery and keeps running from wrist motion. Against modern GMT rivals it stands out for its true 24-hour format and aviation heritage rather than for smart features or a rotating city bezel. It suits pilots, frequent travelers and collectors who want a mechanical tool watch with history, and owners rate it highly for its legibility and character.

Questions and answers

Is the Airman a GMT watch?
It uses a 24-hour dial rather than a separate GMT hand, so you read a second time zone by the hour scale. Some versions add a rotating bezel for a third zone.
Does it need a battery?
No. It is an automatic watch that winds from wrist movement, and it can also be wound by hand if it has stopped.
How does it compare with a standard GMT?
A standard GMT has a 12-hour dial plus a fourth hand. The Airman shows all 24 hours at once, which is more aviation-like but less familiar.
Can I swap the strap?
Yes, the textile strap can be replaced with a leather or steel strap of the same lug width if you prefer.
Is it suitable for daily wear?
Yes. The stainless steel case and automatic movement suit everyday use, though the fabric strap needs more care than metal.
What is in the box?
The watch on its textile strap, typically with a warranty card and manual. Check the listing for the exact contents.
