[ベルトゥッチ]BERTUCCI A-2T Original Classics™ 12122.0 メンズ 【正規輸入品】 [並行輸入品]

ベルト保持用のバネ棒は使われておらず、普通の革ベルトへの付け替えはできませんが、 NATOベルトの装着はできる為 好みのデザインのNATOベルトが使えます。 バネ棒が無い為 強い力が加わった時にバネ棒が外れる心配がありません。(いままでに外れた経験はありませんが) 材質はチタンですが、特別軽く感じることはないのですが、独特の特別感(自己満足)があって良いです。 竜頭はねじ込み式になっており、200m防水の表示は信憑性があります。 秒針もふらつきなく、目盛にぴたっと合っていて気持ち良いです。(タイメックスの様なふらつきやズレはありません) ただ1点、ガラスとベゼルの間に溝があり、ここに汚れが溜まりそうで心配です。

THE WATCH: I have owned this watch (Bertucci A-2T) for about 6 months now and worn it everyday. I have been very happy with it. The face and titanium case are amazingly durable. I have definitely knocked it hard against something metal accidentally a few times and I was sure it would be scratched, but it still looks as good as the day I got it! The offset bezel is great and I like the look of it. THE BAND: Before I got it I was a bit skeptical about the band. It is different, but I don't mind it at all. I use the third to last hole on the band which allows just enough of the band left to double over underneath and slip into the clasp. I don't think the buckle and clasp would work quite as designed for very large wrists requiring the 2nd-to-last or last hole on the band. In that case there would not be enough band left to double over and insert into the double-wide clasp. However, it looks like the clasp could be removed entirely with a bolt cutter or hacksaw if not needed. The black finish on the clasp is showing the silver metal underneath on a tiny spot where it got scratched, but its a casual watch band and nobody ever sees that part of the band, so that doesn't bother me. I love how the band goes through the watch so I don't have to worry about it catching on something, breaking a pin, and falling off. Its great on vacation: I wear it snorkeling, scuba diving, and in the pool. I just rinse it off with freshwater afterwards. One thing I have noticed about the band (which is a material like a backpack strap) is that in dry climates, like WI winters, the band is very stiff and almost scratchy, but in humid climates the band is quite supple and comfortable. BACK-LIGHT? I debated whether to get the next model up that has the back-lit face, but I haven't missed the back light at all. The hands on this one do light up and on the few occasions that I've needed to read it in the dark, I haven't had any problem. The only thing is that the hands are not super bright, so if somebody turns the lights off on you it can be tough to read the watch immediately, before your eyes adjust to the darkness. Upon waking up in the middle of the night and seeing the watch on the nightstand, the hands shine bright and clear. I'm happy without the back light, especially when considering the extra cost and bulk of the additional bezel that activates the back light on the other Bertucci model. OVERALL A great watch, worth the money, and appears durable enough to pass on to future generations. BTW: I saw one review saying that the watch was ticking between the second marks, but mine ticks crisply on the hash marks. UPDATE 10-24-2014 I recently had to replace the battery for the second time, so I thought this would be a good time for an update. I am currently still using the original band on the 2nd to last hole for a looser fit. It works fine in that position, the band just doesn't double over back through the clasp. The band is definitely unique - I busted a Las Vegas street magician when he tried and failed to steal it off my wrist. He said, "what kind of watch is that?" LOL By now it is showing some light scratches around the bezel, but I expected that on an everyday field watch. I have other titanium watches that don't hold up as well. The glass face is still pristine. This is still my favorite watch! THE BATTERY The first time the battery died I took it to 2 or 3 watch retailers that were not able to open the case. I ended up taking it to a local high-end watch repair shop that took 2 days to do it and charged me $22. BTW, the case is not anything unusual, I think its a fairly standard screw-back waterproof case. It just takes somebody with some experience and the right tool for the job. A teenage clerk behind the retail counter apparently has neither. This time, I decided I would change the battery myself, so I purchased this watch wrench: Wild-us Professional JAXA Type XL Watch Case Back Opener Wrench for Large Waterproof Watches. It worked great and I changed it myself in about 5 minutes with a $3 V371 battery. The wrench will work on other watches too, so it should be a good investment.

Muy bonito, super cómodo y ligero, la correa es de calidad superior, el reloj es de 38 mm pero da sensación de 40 mm se ve muy bien, cumple su estilo de militar a la perfección, corona roscada excelente, en este modelo los pernos son fijos solo para uso de correas nato.

Love the easy to read dial, top quality strap really comfortable after a few days on the wrist. Moulded titanium case looks Unitarian and I suppose that's the watch all over not made to be dressy just a good casual tough watch. Not G-Shock tough but tough enough. Great watch.

Cette montre est super agréable à porter et fonctionne parfaitement bien pour l'instant. Oubliez juste que vous ne pourrez pas y attacher un bracelet en 2 partie en raisons des cornes fixes. Bracelet d'origine indestructible. C'est du costaud.

It's been close to a year since buying the Bertucci A-2T so it's time to share my thoughts. The A-2T appealed to me because it featured all the attributes I consider necessary in a rough and tumble work-a-day watch. It's waterproof, at least to the point I can swim and shower without fear of destroying it; it has a recessed crystal; its quartz and so accurate enough for my needs; its face has high contrast luminous hands and background so visibility is at a glance; lugs to protect the (screwdown!) crown; the integrated lug bars and heavy duty strap ensure that once on your wrist that's where this watch will stay; and the A-2T's 40mm face is proportionate to my smaller wrists, with an understated, not an overwhelming, presence. In short form follows function in a well designed an executed timepiece. My A-2T has collected an assortment of dings and scratches (bezel and case) that attests to my casual disregard and its toughness. The band is stiffening from use and slightly discoloured from sweat and exposure to various machine oils, etc. Every month or two I adjust the date and that's the extent of attention I devote to the A-2T. It's not perfect but what is? I'd like to see a slightly large date display and, perhaps, a (larger?) battery capable of lasting 5 or so years but these detractions are not enough to prevent a 5 star review and an enthusiastic recommendation.
