Bertucci A-2T Vintage Watch
N**C
A great and unremarkable watch....that can take abuse.
Great watch for the price. The band can be a little stiff for a while, but if you keep it on while showering, it'll soften up after about a month. This watch has great readability, reliability and durability. It can easily be dressed up with formal attire and wont appear pretentious. I love the strap buckles. They're stitched in pretty tight, so they sit flat and hold the tail of the band down well. The pinless design allows for removing the band and washing (great as I work in EMS) and allows for stress free wear as you won't have to worry about the pins popping and the case falling off. The crystal is recessed within the case which will prevent you from scratching the face when you knock it against door jams like i do. The super luminous hands and dial markers are good for about 4 hours in low light conditions, but then peeter out and are barely readable. All in all, its a watch and it does watch a watch is supposed to do; it tells time. Get you one.Update 4/26/18Still a great watch! Its been through moderate abuse consistently with episodes of negligence induced abuse (I'm hard on my watches). Only visible wear is mild polishing of the matte finish, but it's only noticeable if you look closely. The crystal is free of any damage so far (thanks to the recessed design). Id recommend you purchase a dress band for it as the nylon retains stains if you intend to wear it at formal events. I still highly recommend this timepiece.Update 8/27/2020This watch has survived the punishment of 2020. I have been abusive to this piece and have neglected it beyond what would be considered reasonable. Switching the band out periodically for aesthetic reasons or application, this watch ticks along. It still has the stock battery and has lost no time since purchase. The design of the case bezel has performed excellently protecting the crystal. I added a photo of the crystal for you to scrutinize. Ive many time pieces, but I always find myself donning this one over my others. Still highly recommend this piece.Update 4/23/21Three years now of abuse and I've yet to have any issues. If you develop a problem, it's likely going to be the band. My original band got contaminated with blood (I work in EMS) and so I had to change it out to their non porous tri dura band (images with the black band). I can recommend Bertucci watches enough. Like I've stated before, it does one thing, and one thing very well: tells time. It remains accurate despite heavy abuse. It also remains water resistant, though I've only tested it at 1.5 atmosphere of pressure. Still a 5 out 5 for me.

A Great Combination of Quality and Price
Watch arrived on time - great service from Amazon! Fits comfortably on my wrist, not heavy at all. Case diameter is 40mm. Roman numerals can be easily read, luminescence is ok for this type of watch (this is not a G-Shock after all). Has a very nice appearance for an everyday watch. If you want to upgrade the look there are many nice Nato straps available from Amazon. I changed the strap that came with this watch because it was too stiff. Watch keeps good time and the price of this very nice watch was just right for me - not expensive but not a cheap watch at all. Hooray for Bertucci. They really know how to make a very good product. I wanted to purchase two other models of Bertucci watches but they were both sold out on Amazon and Bertucci web site. It speaks for the quality of their watches.

Well Designed Rugged Watch
An analog watch is a personal item. This watch is not too big but large enough to read easily, I like it for that. I have had this watch for two weeks and it has kept time within a couple of seconds of my atomic clocks. The second had sweeps to the second marks on the dial precisely. The minute had can easily be set so that it lines up at the minute when the second had sweeps to 12. It doesn't have a date or day function and that is the way I wanted it. At the end of a 30 day month I don't have to mess with my watch.The designers at Bertucci have spent a lot of time making their idea of the perfect analog watch and it shows. The hands glow enough that you can read the time all night. The time adjustment knob is at 4 o'clock rather than the standard 3 o'clock position making it more comfortable on your wrist. There are not watch pins. There are solid bars in the case for the band to slip under. I purchased one of the leather bands for this watch. Changing the watch band was very easy. The solid bars are very strong, much stronger than watch pins. This watch appears to be rugged and not too heavy or bulky. A very well designed watch that is ideal for some people.

An instant classic
I’ve been eyeing this watch for a long time and when I saw it on sale, I finally bought one. It’s a fantastic watch! I wanted something understated and utilitarian looking with a simple no-frills movement. This is it. The quartz Swiss movement is rock steady at about +1 second per week, which is excellent. It has a screw down crown and is rated at 200m of water resistance. The 24 hour dial is essential for me because I work at a VA hospital and we use military time. If you like the looks of it and want a solid, yet very lightweight quartz watch, then get it. You won’t regret it.

No-frills Bliss.
I love how basic and no-nonsense this watch is. Weighs nothing, no band pins to break, easy to read, even bouncing around in a helicopter all day. Band is quite stiff, but softens with use. Low profile doesn't hang up on jacket cuffs or snag on equipment like my big dive watches. Very happy with this purchase

Spedizione inaccetabile
Tutto ottimo una cosa veramente inammissibile sono le elevate spese di spedizioni con tempi di consegna assurdi... quasi un mese... con questa arrivano dalla Cina... gratis

Simple, extremely robust, high quality watch that will serve you for years and years to come
Used it for less than a month yet, but loved it from the first sight. Very robust construction with an all-around nylon strap and solid watch case without the usual removable pins that usually hold the straps (which can break leading to loss of the watch).All three hands and the triangles marking hours are phosphor-fluorescent and the case is titanium with a dull (as in "not very shiny') metallic look. The phosphor is not too bright, but is also very legible in the dark.Nylon strap has a very robust heavy-duty construction with stainless steel rounded buckles without any sharp edges. There are two rings for the loose end of the strap and the end of the strap has two thick nylon strings embroidered, which help with retaining the end in the rings.Regarding the model itself, I loved the shape of the hands, with all three having very distinct shapes that are easily distinguished even in low light. The strap design is very good. I find the 24-hours marks to be superfluous (as I'm used to converting 12-hour values to 24-hour values on such watches anyway), but as they're not getting in the way much, it's OK. The screw-down water-tight crown with its characteristic angled position design is quite interesting.The only thing I miss is the date. Unfortunately, there were no models available on Amazon with the same color/hand/clock face design and a date display at the time of purchase. I still love this watch.

No surprises
Chinese watch, perfect beater watch for work or other activities,Excesive play in the crown, and not so cheap for the quality ofered, there are better choices from Japanese manufacturers (Seiko, Citizen...) at similar price.

Well constructed
A simple, stylish and well built timepiece. Screw down crown and case back are quality features. Night time glow of clock face could be stronger.
