a cheapy but still swiss made, quality isn't bad. been a good wearer for the money when I got it.
yeah the airman is their famous model and was quite a good one. i dont own one of those. I only have this modern diver which I enjoy, but it comes under the Invicta ownership of glycine. Im not a fan of invictas watches or business model, but they have kept some of the glycines I do like in production. such as the airman and combat diver. still so thats a good thing.Charles Conrad took his Glycine into space on Gemini 5, as he called it "eight days in a garbage can."

Conrad's Glycine Airman with dial fully facing the camera. Charles wore three watches; the other watch in the photograph was NASA's Omega Speedmaster.

Independent adjustment of the hour hand? That's clever! Well done on the bezel, too. Is it Omega or another manufacturer? Yours is a great watch. I narrowly avoided being an automatic/mechanical watch snob. I inherited the Breitling Aerospace and was exposed to Citizen's radio controlled atomic clock watches in time to wow me with their unparalleled accuracy. I also encountered the Bulova Accutron and learned about the history of quartz technology.![]()
The independent hour hand makes this quartz model a great travel watch. I had a different bezel put on it. It's much grippier than the original.
