Glycine has a reputation when it comes to larger watches. It’s a trait that has brought the brand many years of success, even before large watches were the trend. When looking at some of their pieces like the Airman 7, F-104 and KMU 48, you are seeing some of the biggest Glycine has to offer. In the late 90’s, Glycine introduced a 44mm manually wound timepiece (which was larger for back then) called Incursore, which paved the way for Glycine’s recognition with big timepieces. The Incursore now comes in either 44mm or 46mm. For our post today, we are introducing one of their latest, the Glycine Incursore 46mm Automatic Sap 3874.11-LBN7.

This new introduction of Incursore is one of only variations to actually have a white dial, which is surprising since they look so awesome. This model in particular is incredibly legible. With black super luminova for the numerals/indexes, and matte black hands, it’s hard not to know the time. It’s simplistic design and larger size makes for a nice and easy read, while still looking great on the wrist.

The case design is wide and long, but still fairly thin. It’s 11mm thickness is a nice attribute on such a beefy piece. The curvature to the case is nice and helps the piece sit on the wrist well. I do like the fact that the case is a completely brushed finish, as it will not show scratches as much as a high polish. The screw down crown’s design is easy to grab and function. The front crystal is sapphire, while the screw down case back is mineral.

The movement is an ETA 2824-2 with the date window at 4 o’clock. The 2824 has a rate of 28,800 bph, 25 jewels and a 38 hr power reserve. The movement’s nickle plated rotor is decorated in Geneva striping and has the Glycine logo. Simple, but nicely done.

The retail on the Glycine Incursore 46mm 200M Automatic Sap 3874.11-LBN7 is $1,675. Another great value from Glycine and well worth the money. If you have any questions, please feel free to call us at 1-800-486-3996. We’re happy to help.

Thanks for reading!

Citizen came out with an onslaught of cool new pieces this year. One of the coolest looking, not to mention at a killer price point, was the new Citizen Scuba Fin Divers.

While the pieces are very inexpensive, they show great quality for the money. Each watch is stainless (most with black IP) 46mm and comes on a very comfortable rubber strap. While the watch is 46mm, it doesn’t wear like a monster. It actually has a great feel for a larger width and a semi short lug to lug width (from 6-12 o’clock) which helps keep it less bulky.

The color combos on the Scuba Fins are awesome. The black and green on the BN0090-01E is very reminiscent of the Citizen Satellite Wave Limited Edition from last year, and can also be seen on other releases coming soon. There is also a black and orange (BN0097-11E) and black and blue (BN0097-02H) model which make for fun cool look. There is also a full black (BN0095-08E), and white and black (BN0095-08A) if you don’t want the flash of the vibrant color combos they are using. The strap is Polyurethane and is far more soft and comfortable than most other straps in Citizen’s selection. The green, orange and blue variations have matching colors in the straps to really make the watches stand out in a crowd.

The Citizen Suba Fin Diver’s are solar powered using Citizen’s Eco-Drive technology. These particular models (at a full charge) will go 6 months in the dark before needing to be charged. They use caliber E168 for the basic 3 hand, date movement and is rated to about a 15 sec a month deviation.

Each of these Scuba Fins are 200m water resistance with screw in case back and screw down crown. The lume is also excellent to make for an easy read while in the dark or diving.

The retail on these bad boys are only $299 and can be purchased directly though our website for $224.25 HERE. Over all the Citizen Scuba Fins are an excellent value for a great dive piece or just a great every day sports watch. We’ve really been impressed with what Citizen has done this year and the Citizen Scuba Fine Diver is no exception!
