Our take on the Glycine Men's Airman Purist 42mm Automatic Watch GL0068

The Glycine Airman Purist 42 is a Swiss automatic watch built around a true 24-hour dial, a nod to the original 1953 Airman pilot watch. It runs the Sellita SW330-2 movement in a 42mm stainless steel case with sapphire crystal, a screw-down crown and a bidirectional 24-hour bezel. The Purist drops the extra GMT hand, so the dial reads a single 24-hour scale with a date at 3 o'clock. It suits pilots and watch enthusiasts who want genuine 24-hour legibility and heritage without the busy look of a three-time-zone Airman.

Questions and answers

What is the difference between the Purist and the standard Airman?
The Purist has a single 24-hour dial and no separate GMT hand. The standard Airman adds a fourth hand so you can track a second time zone on the bezel.
How does a 24-hour dial work?
The hour hand circles the dial once a day, so noon sits at the top and midnight at the bottom. You read the time off the 1-to-24 numerals instead of a 12-hour scale.
What movement does it use?
It uses the Sellita SW330-2, a Swiss automatic with a date function. It winds by wrist motion and can be hand-wound.
Is it good for swimming?
It is rated to 100 meters with a screw-down crown, which covers swimming and snorkeling. It is not a dive watch, so avoid deep diving.
What is in the box?
The watch on its stainless steel bracelet, along with Glycine's paperwork and presentation box.
Does the bezel track a second time zone?
Yes. The bidirectional 24-hour bezel can be set to a second time zone, read against the 24-hour hand.
