Glycine

A Pioneer in Aviation Watches

Founded in 1914, Glycine is best known for its contribution to aviation timepieces. The Glycine Airman, first introduced in 1953, was one of the earliest watches to feature a 24-hour dial and a rotating bezel for tracking multiple time zones, making it a favorite among pilots and military personnel. Now part of the Invicta Group, Glycine remains a respected name in the enthusiast community, offering vintage-inspired tool watches with robust mechanics.

The Glycine Airman was worn by U.S. Air Force pilots during the Vietnam War, proving that it’s not just a watch—it’s a piece of history!
