<br />
The history of the Glycine Combat is shrouded in mystery. It was made circa 1967 in relatively small numbers, possibly as an exercise by Glycine to secure a US Army military contract. This is now thought unlikely as it has a snap-on rather than screw back. The watch and its Airman bigger brother were certainly popular with Vietnam-era military personnel and many saw 'active service' despite not being official. Numbers produced may be several thousand but there are no records to confirm or deny this - they were lost some years ago in a damaging flood of the Glycine headquarters. Additionally Glycine has had several different owners since 1967. There is a similarity with it and the [[Glycine Altus GG-W-113 |Altus Glycine]] seen a few years later in 1986 as an official US armed forces issue. <br />

An individual example has been seen with Bailey Banks & Biddle on the dial - a retailer of jewelry formed in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in 1832, often called America's oldest jewelry store. <br />
