About Glycine

Glycine is a Swiss watch brand that has been making watches since 1914. Aviation is a central part of its history, with the Airman and Airpilot collections built around different ways of keeping and reading time. The brand makes GMT watches, 24-hour models, chronographs, and both automatic and quartz watches. Its wider range also includes watches for everyday use and activities beyond aviation.

The Airman Collection

The Airman is one of Glycine's main aviation watch collections. The range includes Purist, GMT, Vintage, Contemporary, and SST models. Each gives customers a different choice within the Airman family.

One example is the Airman No. 1 GMT, which belongs to the GMT range. Another is the Airman The Chief Purist, which uses a 24-hour time format. Glycine highlights this model as part of its vintage 24-hour timekeeping history.

The brand also has a dedicated Airman GMT History page on its website. This gives people interested in aviation watches a way to learn more about the collection and its background.

The Airman SST is another model in the range. Together, these watches show how Glycine continues to develop its aviation collection while keeping older designs available.

Airpilot Watches

The Airpilot collection is another part of Glycine's aviation range. It includes several types of watches for people who prefer different movements and functions.

  • Airpilot Quartz: Quartz models within the Airpilot collection.
  • Airpilot Automatic: Automatic models in the range.
  • Airpilot Dual Time: Models with a dual-time function.
  • Airpilot Chrono: Chronograph watches.
  • Airpilot GMT: GMT models for tracking time.

The collection gives aviation enthusiasts several options without moving outside the same watch family. Customers can choose a model based on the type of movement or time display they prefer.

Watches Beyond Aviation

Glycine also makes watches outside its pilot collections. The Combat family includes Sub, Field, Sport, Classic, and Vintage lines.

Other collections include Sea Kraken and Lagunare. These give the brand a wider catalog alongside its aviation watches.

Glycine continues to introduce new arrivals and highlight its approach to watchmaking. Its collections include both older designs and newer versions.

Ownership and Support

Glycine provides international shipping and free shipping within the United States. Its watches come with a two-year warranty.

The website includes information about shipping, returns, and warranty support. There are also options for people interested in becoming a dealer or joining its affiliate program.

For pilots and aviation fans, Glycine's main appeal is its long connection to aviation timekeeping. The Airman and Airpilot collections provide a choice of GMT, 24-hour, and chronograph models, along with designs linked to the brand's history.
