Dusty78Glycine is decent value but their quality took a bit of a hit since invicta bought out the company. Is this a new production watch? What price are you looking at? Jomashop tends to have good deals on Glycine watches. I have a Combat 7 that was built right as Invicta was taking over so the quality is still there.

bald1The watch in question is powered by Glycine Calibre GL 293 movement (adopted around 2010 when the Swatch cut off supplying ETA movements to brands not in their Group). It gives 3 time zones: the first is your current time zone, indicated by the innermost markers as a 24 hour vice 12 hour dial which is why it has the PM AM notations. The independently operated red GMT hand tracks the time in two separate time zones: one is shown on the inner bezel; the other is indicated by the bidirectional rotating bezel controlled by the crown at 2 o’clock.
I much prefer the "normal" or "Classic" styling of Airman like my 2002 vintage Airman 46 employing an ETA 2893-2 movement which also gives 3 time zones in similar fashion although the inner local time is a 12 hour dial. It uses an exterior bezel for the third zone adjusted by loosening the locking threaded screw at 4 o'clock. Mine is pictured here with my 2000 vintage Glycine KMU46 Incursore. Reading my Airman shows 8:42 PM local, 1:42 AM GMT and 5:42 AM in Baghdad's time zone. The sweep second hand is hard to see as it is right over the minute hand.
