yes, it is very much worth its price.
I am in love with this thing. I do my best to not take it off.this is my first semi-expensive watch, and let me tell you I'm not disappointed. it is a very simple design that just works. no fancy doo-dads, or thingy-majiggs. it tells the time like its made to do, and it does it well. the hands stay bright for hours on end after the lights go out and the high contrast face and numbers make the thing almost inpossible to not be able to read, no matter what kind of lighting you have. being made of titanium, it doesn't nick, or scratch or dent like other watches. I'm a welder, and this thing holds up to the daily abuse of scraping it against steel objects basically all day. the timing is what is to be expected of a nice swiss movement. over the course of a week, it has lost perhaps 10 seconds.I definitely recommend this wonderful,functional, beautifully simple price of craftsmanship.I tip my hat to its creators.

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.

Not 42mm!!
This is a cool watch but it is mislabeled as having a 42mm case, it does not, it's 40mm. Apparently all of the A-2T's are 40mm.

The Ultimate Field Watch
The media could not be loaded. I’ve been searching for the toughest field watch for years and I found it. Super light, solid titanium, screw down case back and crown, 200 meters water resist, sapphire crystal, 22mm nylon strap, Swiss movement with Swiss lume. This watch is indestructibe, very legible and a great value for the price. Size is perfect at 40mm for my small wrist. No joke, all function watch that I will wear as my daily beater for years to come.
P**.
So far... so good.
Ok, I have only had this watch for about 24 hrs. I am impressed so far by both the comfort and the accuracy. From some of the reviews read prior to purchasing I was planning to put a different band on it, but I now believe I'll keep the one that came with it. When doing the projects to do with the renovations and maintenance necessary when one owns a 1896 home I usually wear a G-Shock Solar that has stood me well for 12 years. This Bertucci has taken it's place. As an army veteran and prone to lean toward the nostalgic... well, nuff said.2 weeks Later....Forgot it was on my wrist and got paint splatter (exterior primer white) all over the face and band. The paint had dried before I realized it. Ran it under warm soapy water & scrubbed with a hard dental brush. The only thing that occurred was that now the band is more comfortable. I've scrapped it on concrete (unintentionally) and it showed nothing but a slight shiny area only visible with a magnifying glass.

possibly perfect
Aesthetically i love this watch. Bertucci has excellent design. Ubfirtunately there have been numerous reviews across the gambit of bertucci watches about watch hands falling off. With that many reviews about the same issue there must be some truth to it. I purchased anyway hoping it dies not happen to me. But now i live thinking about it. Yes the watch is very affordable, which makes me worry this really is just Timex quality, which is ok but not great. Watch hands falling off is a trenendous design and manufacturing failure that needs immeduate remedy. I am a sessoned mechanical engineer who spent his engineering career in manufacturing and i was there on the factory floor. I am now a high school teacher. If the quality is there in this watch then i will be very very pleased with this watch.
