And Now for Something a Little Different...

Yes, I have a soft spot for Glycine.  I am a certifiable Airman fanatic.  But what I like about Glycine is that they are aware that (sacrilegious though it may be) there is more to life than the Airman ; )

Introducing the Glycine Classics Automatic.



The case is stainless steel, 40 mm in diameter, housing a self-winding Swiss movement.  20 mm lug width with a calf strap.  

The crown is red 5N pvd coated, as are the hands, indices and the date aperture.
