To Wind or Not to Wind: Glycine Combat 6


Glycine Combat 6 Automatic

This is the sixth generation of Glycine’s Combat series and for 2009, automatic and manual winding models are available. Both versions share a 43mm diameter case. The automatic, distinguished by the presence of a date function, uses an ETA 2824-2 movement, while an ETA 2801-2 powers the manual winder. Both versions offer a mineral glass display back. Both models are available on strap or bracelet, with black or blue dials, and with stick hour markers or Arabic numbers.

Complete specs appear below the images. You can learn more about the Combat 6 in the News section at the official Glycine web site.
