We go in-depth with the Combat SUBs

Introduction

The vintage divers of old and modern dive watches of today have little differences. In such a demanding and popular watch category where most timepieces bear much resemblance, a new dive watch line-up may just slip by as yet another addition to the already saturated market. The irony is that there is actually a broad range of diver collections but as these timepieces follow the same structure, it may be hard to pinpoint what is unique to each line-up. As many watch brands craft their divers with reference to a proven formula consisting of an elapsed-time bezel, excellent water resistance, maximum legibility and a similar case form, these timepieces are usually based on popular classic 50s and 60s designs. Presenting re-mastered retro cues with contemporary twists or tributes to successful models of old.

An excellent read..thanx for posting!!..

Question: if the SUB and Airman were released during the “golden era” of Glycine, in which era are they currently residing?

Great read-

Wouldn't mind finding one of those 40's field watches with the sub seconds or an original Combat.

Agreed. I'll just have to wait for the reissue.

The tin era with granny lalo claiming she invented the Airman for the german hairforce and the golden one live streaming from Panama about his 16th generation ties to the original glycine family back in the stone age.

Granny Lalo's first timepiece, if you will.

Indeed, thanks for posting.
