    I’ve got the 36 mm titanium A1T, with a Swiss Ronda quartz movement and it’s amazing. I’ve taken it on a 30 km trek across a frozen lake high in the Tibetan Plateau, -32 degrees Celsius at night - no problem. Trekked with it in the hot deserts of northwest China - no problem. Climbed 5000 meters peaks in the Qilian Mountains with it - no problem. Snorkeled with it and took it through the wet jungles of Borneo - no problem. Bertucci watches are bombproof.

    I have a Bertucci A1-S that I bought for graduating High School in May, They quickly became one of my favorite brands for my watch alone. It's my daily watch and it's been banged up a bit but it still works like a charm. Bertucci really isn't talked about enough for the quality they give.

    I everyday a DX-3 in hard use at work in a shipping company for 2 years. You can barely tell its in a harsh environment, the case has scratches but you barely see any and the crystal looks brand new and the lume is still good. This brand is really amazing and will try the aluminum or titanium versions soon. (and I bought it from Big 5 sporting goods for $10 on clearance! I should have bought 10 of them)

    I used to wear a watch everyday so much that I developed a ugly tan line from never taking it off. Then for some reason I stopped wearing it( probably to even out my tan) but decided I'm going to start wearing one again. I just found bertucci last week as I was shopping around on a fly shop website. I order the Dx3 field model with black face and tan strap. I'm looking forward to wearing it!

    Purchased the 11016 Bertucci from you. For now, it is only seeing light service, but that will change. Watch is light and very attractive. It is a bit thicker than I like in a 40mm case and very thick nylon strap. Shut up and live with it. My Seiko SNK809 is getting a rest while this travels on my wrist aboard the Honda Super Cub C125. Many miles to go.

Mine lasts as long and as strong as any of my Seikos, still. I've had my A2-T for a decade now and beat the snot out of it, and still have not scratched the mineral glass. All these guys flogging the Boldr and other fancy field beaters haven't tried the old great American Bertucci. And it is still accurate to less than a second a day.

    I have a Bertucci A-3P Nato, on the supplied Nato strap. I really do like it as a beater, and boy, does it take a beating as I am a mechanic on city buses. That poly resin case is tough and it's bearley got a scratch on it, besides the chrystal from occational welding and use of grinders.
    Fantastic price on a tough little watch.

    I really like this watch. I'd give it a 9.5 out of ten in value. I can't figure out though why the " 9A14219 " made it onto the dial? The thing I like most about field watches is their stark simple easy readability. The more sterile the dial the better. That strange number, and the 50M (water resistance) belong on the back on the case cover.

    One more question, how does the glass crystal hold up honestly ???

    • @islandwatch
      @islandwatch  5 років тому

      It's mineral, and set down, so it should look great for a while. See some other comments on the video from people who own similar ones.

      @dude93able 5 років тому

      I've had my A2SEL and an A2S for a couple of years. They've been banged around a bit but no discernable scratches on the crystal. I'm sure being sunken is a major reason they're not scratched, but then hardened mineral crystal probably holds up well on it's own, while not as scratch resistant as sapphire, it is less likely to shatter as I understand.

    Because of its indestructibility it would be great as a kid's watch (I wonder whether that's why there are so many holes on the band). I love the size and it reminds me of the Seiko Snk809 work-horse (which also does the day and date).

    OK second comment.My Mrw 200 beats these hands down? It just does? Even Sunday rotates to red on the day wheel. Its got a bezel and 24 hour inner marks. Its hands are superb and it to be fair after all my years is "Perfect" as a tool? It keeps time like I suspect like a 9 f Seiko ? As a tool a piece of perfection in its own right? Engineering wins? ?.If a humble Casio Mrw 200 was a suspension bridge it may well snigger at its pretenders? On budget and looks like it will last forever? Sorry but I am a practical bloke!? Cheers.

      It has SuperLuminova which is very bright on the hands but the hour markers must be a different material because they are not as bright, but still pretty good. Their website states both hands and markers have Superluminova.🤷🏻‍♂️
