I know this video is old by now, but Bertucci really takes care of the military. I went to order a titanium one for myself for a deployment, and I had mentioned I had a couple of guys under me that I was looking at getting watches for. They sent my seven watches when I had only paid for one. Not a single watch was destroyed on that deployment, and they went through hell.

Nothing wrong with cheap packaging, imo (I want the cost going into the watch, not the packaging)

I don’t know about you, but I am pretty tired of this anti quartz snob thing. What foolishness. There is definitely room in my collection for a great grab and go quartz watch. Especially as a beater, for the beach, or for travel.

I have a couple of Bertucci watches. I like them for their simple, no-nonsense design and construction. I get the attraction of mechanical field watches. I own some as well. However, if you're really interested in durability, a solid quartz movement will be much more durable than a mechanical (in most situations). If you drop your mechanical 4 feet onto a hard floor, chances are it will have to be regulated, because you've at least jarred the lever on the balance bridge. With a quartz, just pick it up an move on with your day.

I just purchased this watch. Great everyday and work watch. And hey! I’m a UPS man! It even matches my uniform!

I bought this watch in July of 2019. I've been wearing on the job site every day since. It's a solid watch that takes a lot of abuse. 8 going on 9 months isn't a super long time, but I've broken watches in less time. Definitely like the overbuilt strap, and I put a film on the crystal to prevent scratches. One thing you didn't mention is the (not)spring bars integrated into the body making it virtually impossible to have a failure due to strap or spring bars, this is good when you're lifting and moving heavy stuff on site every day. Also, I own a bunch of automatics but I leave this watch in my work bag over the weekend. It's nice to not have to reset the time on it after two days off. Sometimes quartz it the answer. Might also be worth mentioning the Bertucci you reviewed is the Lithium model with a promised 10 year battery life. For $30 less you can get essentially exactly the same watch with a standard battery that lasts 3 years. I don't work for Bertucci, and truth be told, now that I own one of their watches I likely won't buy another because this thing may never break or wear out. Thanks for the reviews. Always love watching your channel.

This is really one of the best field watches out there in the quartz market. The A2-T has an upgraded all metal Ronda movement.

Thanks so much for the finally fabled review of Bertucci’s. I own entirely too many models than I’d like to admit, and these little dudes get the job done (on a decent budget) like no other watch I’ve ever owned.

Bertucci field watches are AWESOME! I've destroyed "tough" mechanical watches when mountain biking just from the shaking and bouncing. Also, the solid lug bars are great for active sports; I've also lost 2 watches when mountain biking due to broken spring bars. You should note that you can get Bertucci field watches with sapphire crystal and, in the "Americana" series, can get very tough, all metal, hand assembled in America quartz movements as well. The 4 o'clock crown is great as it doesn't dig into the back of one's hand when cycling. I love my Bertucci and have not yet found anything even close in comparison for truly active sports.

let’s be honest though, most actual professionals probably prefer quartz due to its practicality, durability, and lower price.

These are great watches for the average person. Why are lots of reviews seeming to come from a member of the aristocracy.

They are worth their modest price tag. They hold up well, and have a great proprietary strap

I think quartz movements are far better option in a field watch, so much less to worry about and so much more accurate, I have that watch for $180 with a Swiss Movement and the markets hit perfectly and Marc at Long Island watch has it every Black Friday for $99!

Thank God you're here, Jory. I was running out of decent things to watch. Really.

I've had my A-2T for a year now and adore it, regular NATO or the thick leather one piece it came with. Wears like a dream(titanium case) and takes a beating but keeps on tickin.

I've got to admit I'm not a huge "field Watch Fan" as a fashion statement. And I appreciate Quartz only as an utilitarian feature. A true "field watch" to me is literally a watch that I am going to wear in the field. As a former Marine this to me is a part of my survival gear meaning it must be virtually indestructible, water proof to the highest level (at least 200m) and dependable. All this can be accomplished by your cheapest G-Shock, Mine i bought at Walmart on sale for $45 15 years ago and it has survived Caving, Repelling, Mountain Biking, White water Kayaking, Multi-Day Hikes on the Appalachian Trail, and has still served me well as a part of my essential gear as a Medical Responder. What many describe as a "Modern Field Watch" is what I would consider an "Everyday watch" a watch that will go from work to play to casual dining with the wife seemlessly. For that my pick is the Orient Ray II on a basic nato band and at around $120 I still get a mechanical in house movement that connects me with the piece like I've never experience with any Quartz.

A few years back I had 2 Bertucci A2S Field watches. The first one dropped its second hand within a couple months of daily wear. The second one had a dead "4 year" battery in less than a month. All that said... I can't get past all the really great simplicity and features of this watch. Thank you for this walk-around. It makes me feel better about the deal I just got on this particular watch from a local adventure outfitter. Looking forward to seeing if this one serves better than the previous two.

The overall look of the watch makes it ideal to wear with a Harris Tweed jacket. Forget the price, it wears well. Phil

I would go with a mechanical movement as well but the clever crown and design of the bertucci for me are reason enough to buy one. I just dig the look and functionality, would buy a second bertucci if they made a automatic version in a hearthbeat.

I’ve had a few bertuccis, I like the fixed lug bars, if you have a few different natos you switch between it makes it so easy and the natos that come with them are quality. The watch itself is just okay but for the money I like to keep one around for hiking and working outside when I’m not feeling like a gshock.

That case is fantastic. Really love the bezel. Color scheme is great, and excellent water resistance too. Won't lie though, wish it had a sapphire crystal. And maybe a 150m or 100m auto version with a display caseback would f'n sexy option.

I bought a 38mm Lorus titanium field watch with a seiko quartz movement and 100m water resistance - amazing value at £30 - c $35! The seconds hand lines up perfectly too. (I also have the same Vaer field watch you show - absolutely love it!

I think that with this watch it boils down to wether you like the looks of it or not. Except for the titanium case it is a basic Quartz watch. But If you're into field watches I think you can see the appeal of it. It's a good looking field watch in my opinion (I don't mind the quartz movement), the shape of the case is very cool. Bertucci is a brand with much experience with military watches, so you get that as well. A good watch to buy in my opinion. Great review, Jory (I only remember the scientist character).

Jory, I just wanted to say you rock dude! I haven't been a longtime subscriber, but ever since watching one of your videos I am now an avid fan and follower. Much of my life is spent in hospitals and while recuperating from surgeries, I fill that time with The Time Teller. Thank you.

Thanks for the unboxing of that microbrand. I can forgive the disalignement, but not the lack of a sapphire cristal and the cheap movement. At last what you want of a field watch is reliability and thougness, all other stuff are a bonus. Keep the good work.

Jory, Thanks for finally reviewing the Bertucci. I have been wearing the A1s for well over a year now and love the thing. It's a great grab and go watch with its screw down crown, integrated lugs, and good lume. Yes its quartz, but I'm really ok with that on a beater watch. The best part is, its under 60 bucks on Amazon. Really hard to beat. Thanks again for the review and I love your channel.

Got a stainless steel version and really love it. Gets more comments and compliments than any other affordable watch I own. Fits great too, but not so much with the provided strap. I have 6.75 inch wrists, and the thickness of the provided strap causes the strap to bulge out a bit. I put it on a bond style elastic single pass nato and it's frickin awesome now. Super comfortable and fits like a glove.

It’s a nice watch! I feel like this would be a great watch for someone who isn’t overly picky. It seems practical and it looks sweet. Clearly a lot of thought has gone into the design. But, yes, a lot of unnecessary marketing.

I have this model, and I take it hiking all the time, it's been abused in dirt, water ,cold and hot. It stands up to the abuse. Even been in the ocean and no effect. I like quartz, I hate to be chained to just one watch. This watch has done the job,considering the price paid. No complaints, Great overall

The "Fold & Tuck System" actually is a unique thing. Those stitched hash-marks at the end of the band help friction-lock the folded tip under the keeper. Kinda neat, really. I have the A-6A aluminum model, which is a bit more streamlined in design. Incredibly legible and pleasing dial design. And whatever minor choices were made with the case dimensions and shape were exactly the correct ones, too. Great (and affordable) field watch.

4k quality, you never stop improving. your videos are just getting better and better.

I was pleasantly surprised to see you do a video of this watch. This is the watch I wear most now on weekends as it is perfect around the house, out in the yard, going pick up groceries or food etc. it is Saturday and I have it on now. I really like this style for a casual weekender type watch. I had a similarly styled Seiko automatic which just fit me too small, plus it did had a worse water resistance and was not titanium so I sold. Plus for this type of watch the quartz actually is better as the Seiko automatic lost power so quickly so i was constantly resetting it which was a pain as the crown was tiny. For my nicer automatics I do have a winder. However, this is great just toss into a drawer or on a shelf and it is always ready to go. 4 things sold me on this watch. 1) Style/attractive watch 2) Titanium, love the lightweight feel especially for summers in Florida where I live. 3) Water resistance 200 meters 4) Price i paid $130 brand new. Plus i don’t notice any issues with my second hand it seems spot on, yay, not that i care. Overall tough to beat an attractive, titanium watch with 200 meters of water resistance in the sub $150 price range.

Bulova a11 with high beat quartz is another contender. You should also review orient commercials the one for the orient defender was funny.

I bought this watch, white dial, about 6 months ago for about $110. Love it. It’s durable, legible, quartz accuracy with 200m water resist and the stock Zulu/NATO is thick and durable. Highly recommend this watch.

Thanks for the review Jory. Love me some Time Teller opinions early Monday morning!

I’ve just ordered one of these Bertucci watches for my nephew whose joining the British Army in October , I looked at numerous watches but this came out on top only time will tell I suppose.

I haven’t seen all of your videos as to be able to mention all of your characters but one thing I’m sure is you’re doing a great job! Btw thanks for helping me which G-shock i wanted to get! The DW-5600 sure was the best choice! Keep up the good work!

Great and thorough review. And a serious consideration for a rough-service daily wearer. Thanx! p.s. For me, the weight of the strap's a selling point.

Great watch, I have a stainless steel 36mm and I love it! Great build quality and super accurate movement, no issues here

Greetings from northen Sweden and a fellow watch entusiast. Great review. I have a Bertucci A-3P Nato as a beater and it does take a beating as I am a mechanic on city buses. It's been soaked in old motoroil and drenched in antifreeze, I have been carving out dirt and mud from the wheelhouses and you name it. It just keeps on ticking and barely a scratch on it as it's a fiber shell. I did put it on another strap as it was a bit over kill in my opinion. I guess you can put the strap on the towtruck and pull the bus along with it,, hahaha, joking but a tough strap.

I’ve had a Bertucci watch I picked up preowned on their site about 5 years ago. It was $50 and has lasted so much longer than any watch I’ve ever had.

I’m just happy he said so much good stuff about the titanium boldr venture

All hail Bertucci's Brick Oven Pizza & Pasta in Framingham! You brought back some great childhood memories for me also Jory, sure miss that place. Getting ever closer to 100k subs with this superb content. Cheers to NH powerlifting brotha! 🍻🍺🍺👏👏👍

I am much more impressed, seeing this video than I was, seeing them in photos. That strap looks amazing. They now seem like a value proposition to me

Great video, very honest. You presented this watch in a way that highlighted the pros and cons of the watch, while also giving us something to thing about by comparing it to other similar (not exact) field watches. I'm going to stick with my Boldr Venture (white dial) and my Orient Defender (salmon dial).

I wore a Bertucci from around 2014-2017. Loved the look and feel of the watch but it did not last very long on my wrist. I went through 2 of them with the 3 years. Both times the hands would break off inside the face.

FYI: My Bertucci (A-2T Vintage, made 7/2019, which is carved into the case back for some reason) has a Swiss quartz movement and sapphire crystal (in addition to the titanium case). The seconds hand is perfectly aligned with the second/minute marks on the face. The single-pass strap is thick and tough as hell. It runs about +4 seconds per month. I love mine. Oh, and the lume on mine is excellent.

I bought the Vaer Quartz watch. I like the style over the other 3 watches, It looks like one of the famous "Dirty Dozen" watches used in WW2. You can easily Dress the Vaer up for a Date/Job. Or put a Nato strap on it and go Surfing, Camping, Mountain Climbing, Air Racing, ect... Did I mention the Vaer is assembled in the Good Old U.S.A.?

Try a Promaster Tough... Love your reviews.

Perfect timing, I was just looking at this brand over the weekend. wondering if they were worth the money.

Okay this wasn't easy but here is my list (fingers crossed) and don't any one dare copy this list🧐🤨 Mr. lasagne, German time teller, In spector time teller, shinola fan boy, Invicta fan boy (assuming they are characters), alter ego Kevin, John Wayne, John thick, special agent Goodman, director jory, old man jory, special agent Harter, Kimpton southerbee, Dr korban pupscreicht (er... not sure about the spelling 🤔), dj rollie polie, Emilio largo, donn snacchi, fabit, baby face Goodman, David Beckham (even though that's a real person), tiktok timekeeper, zodiac Kevin, papa john, and I'm going to watch more videos and look for them and then edit this and add them! Thank you so much Jory for offering this up for a giveaway, I think I speak for all of your fan boys when I say we really appreciate it!

Nice work, but you forgot to mention the 10 year lithium battery. Also I totally agree with what you say about their marketing. I’ve had this watch for a couple months now (60 bucks new online), and because I’m very hard on my gear, she’s a keeper.

Bertucci’s Pizza!!! Place went squarely down hill but it was over when they screwed with the rolls. They suck now 😩 Warms my heart every time you mention NH (grew up on the MA North Shore then 10 years in Cambridge before defecting to NYC)

I think the cardboard packaging is intentional. It's to immitate the old school US military cardboard boxes that rations came in. It's a very distinctive look. Brown/beige non corrugated cardboard with text printed on it.

Actually, the strap is great and does have a retention feature. There are extra lines of stitching that cross the band at the end. That stitching actually provides enough of a detent to make a big difference. I actually have bought Bertucci straps for other watches. They are that good and superior to most other zulu/nato type straps.

Nice looking watch. Likely a bit too big for my 6 1/4" wrist, but the quartz doesn't turn me off. I prefer mechanical, but I have a few quartz watches that I love. I do like a bit of heft when I have something on the wrist though.

I have 2 Bertucci's both 40mm. The first is titanium 200m with sapphire crystal and the second is the black fibre resin case w/50m water resistance. I put the Titanium on a tri color blk/olive/red Crown & Buckle Nato strap. Looks very sharp. Lum on both is stellar. Olive green Bertucci band for the black one. Both are dead accurate. Have many watches but Bertucci gets the use.

I got my AT2 from my dad around... 2006 I think not too sure but I was super young its definitely pretty decent coming from a guy who likes autos more

why does everyone have such an issue with quarts watches? their pretty good

I bought my bertucci watch at2 in 2021 use it every day, in fact im wearing it right now. I also ride motocross, enduro and have worn the watch every time in the mud through trees you name it, and its working like new, it still has the original battery so at least in my experience its a geat watch cost me like $60-70, for the price range, durability and looks its a no brainer, planing to buy another one in a few months.

Have the 44mm Yankee tritium version. Even more comfortable, I love it

First off, I hope you are well and safe out in CA. Canada's a cool country, especially in these times. One cool field watch watch you should keep an eye out for is the Momentum Atlas line. It comes in 2 different case sizes, sapphire crystal option and even a fully lumed dial one! I am in the process of saving for the full lumed titanium one, so once i put my hands on one, i can send it for you to review. Stay well, healthy and safe.

I've bought the cheapest 'fibre reinforce poly-resin' version of this watch for less than half the price and am very happy with it. I like the strap too and they make a rubber watch guard for extra protection. Mine misses the markers occasionally but I don't spend time watching the second hand - I just need it to show me the watch is working. I can also remember what day it is so I don't need the date complication either which is not on the cheaper model. I think that Bertucci have expanded their range since this video. They now have models with the Ameriquartz movement as well as Swiss and Japanese movements. You can now also get them in resin, aluminium, steel and titanium and with sapphire. They also have ceramic coated and luminous cases. More expensive mechanical field watches seem like an oxymoron to me. Ideally field watches should be tough, reliable, accurate, easy to read, light, compact and replaceable. If I bought a more expensive watch I would be frightened to wear it in 'the field'.

Bertucci makes a variety of straps for these. I swapped out for canvas and it's extremely comfortable now.

I have had my bertucci for more than two years. Its been through some serious abuse and held up beautifully. I use it mostly as a work watch and for hiking.

I'd venture that Bertucci probably knows no one cares about the specific kind of nylon in the wrist strap, but they're required include that free marketing for the strap company on that tag as part of their contract with them.

I have an A-1s (stainless steel 36mm) coming to me, can’t wait to get it. A basic quartz field watch with rugged construction, fine with me.

Fairly new to your reviews. Very informative and highly appreciate the in depth analysis

I just started watching your channel so I dont know about characters. Lol, but I like the review. Definitely want one of these. I like the simplicity.

I was going to say Orient Defender blows them all away and then boom, you went and mentioned it. Field watches are my favourite subset of watches so thanks for sharing. 🍺

Definitely the Boldr Venture Gen 1 (quartz). Picked it up on drop for 99$ and it's my work/beater watch. Love that thing.

I wanted a bertucci for a while. Found a dealer in Connecticut and went to check them out. They had almost all the variants which are a lot. They have a Swiss quartz, sapphire, titanium. And they also had swiss eta versions too. The autos were far too expensive I thought over $400 and for my taste the I didn’t like how they all wore.

You mentioned the titanium. I ended up going with the Bertucci a-1s. It was perfect for my skinny wrist (36mm). I have one titanium and while its nice, I do like a watch with some heft to remind me its there.

I like the look of Bertucci. They also offer Swiss and USA movements and sapphire crystal aplenty to choose from. I wonder if the Swiss has a more precise second hand that the Miyota movement?

I own a Breitling super ocean and have owned a few omegas also in my time. One of my fave watches ever was my quartz bond seamaster, for the simple fact that it was pretty and I could grab it anytime and it would always be ticking. No setting needed. Imo for practicality, quartz > mechanical any day for utility, though if you want an automatic then get you an auto

Jory! You are the best! Your enthusiasm and positivity is just infectious!! I love the watch and a huge benchmade fan, currently carting the bugout. This field watch is for sure rad!

I like Bertucci. I got mine on eBay, it was a special edition made for Case-Harvester, it came with the watch and three straps for about $70.00 It's a good beater watch.

Jory, just love my Bertucci. I have the sapphire one. Not to pick, but you didnt mention the monolithic "spring bars"! Also, that strap is legit and you the second keeper folds the other way to hold the strap. Thanks for the review.

It would be of interest if you could have a look at MK II’s Ready to Wear line. These are perfectionist in design, based on classic military watches, and usually improved in the details, not a straight homage, and are assembled up to an excellent standard in Japan. The fit and finish impression of them is excellent.

I am very happy with my Bertucci and also like the company as a whole. Their bands are some of the finest quality, but sadly they are short for my BIG wrist.

Greetings from northen Sweden and a fellow watch entusiast. Great review. I have a Bertucci A-3P as a beater and it does take a beating as I am a mechanic on city buses so it's a harsh enviroment. It's been soaked in old motoroil and drenched in antifreeze and it just keeps on ticking, it's got a few nicks on that raised bezel but that's about it. I rather like it and the one thing about it is that it's almost too light wheigt, I like to feel the watch on my wrist. Oh yeah,, that strap is hardcore heavy duty. Stay safe and take care.

Love field watches! Would be interesting to see a review on the new Citizen Promaster Tough (BN0118-12L) 😉

LOL love it, notes that there's too many instructions, then ham-fistedly man handles the watch out if the box instead of lifting on the tab marked with a big arrow on it. Oh and I too always think of Bertuccis pizza when I put on my Bertucci watches.

Darn, I’m a new subscriber and watch enthusiast so I’m not sure about your characters, but do always enjoy when you imitate “fanboys” of certain watch brands or rant about certain watches haha. Hopefully someday I’ll have answers to these giveaways. This watch would be a great gift for my uncle, he’s into outdoor gear and think this watch would be right up his alley. Been trying to get him into watch collecting. Maybe I can find a good deal on one. Great review 👍.

I’ve got a Bertucci titanium with the bezel. Good watch but has the misaligned second hand and the Lume isn’t all that great compared to a Seiko and Orient. Overall it’s a decent field watch and the strap is excellent.

I bought the Bertucci with the composite high impact plastic without the day function and am very happy with it. It makes a fashion statement while out hiking, and can take a licking and keep on ticking, for 70% of the price of the titanium. You can't be caught out hiking without the proper field watch. It screams, I'm there, man, and I want to look good.

The character that stuck with me is Kevin. You did not mention the Bertucci Unibody case design. No spring bars to worry about. I have a C-1T and am considering purchasing other models.

I'll stick with my blue faced boldr, beautiful little watch got it for £180 as new 👍🏻....keep up the good work 🤗

Great review! You should look at the higher end models, with Swiss quartz (or American quartz!) and sapphire!

Sometimes you just need a titanium beater. Bertucci is up there, recessed mineral glass and all sorts of unseen designs for ruggedness like solid lugs...ect.

Great look, love the look of the watch but 4 o'clock dates always kill me

I'm surprised that you didn't mention the integral lug bars. That's what Bertucci is best known for, IMO. Great review though. Cheers.

I bought A-2t classic a couple of days ago! It is a gorgeous!

It's February 8th, 2021: @ 24:00 near the end, you mention this giveaway Bertucci field watch was in RE COG KNIT ION of getting close to 100K subscribers and it's a sign of appreciation. WELL Jordy today you have nearly 100K views (90,119) and as you know there are 154K subscribers. Good job!

I gave it a like but one very important feature about Bertucci is the fixed pins. The body and pins are machined out of one piece making it extremely durable but forget about putting on a 2 piece fancy strap. Zulu or Nato (or other one piece) strap it is. I really like the Bertucci straps since they are as tough as the watch. In the old days they used to have automatic mechanical watches but they were more expensive of course. I did replace a 3 year battery on my Bertucci myself with no problems at all. They also have 4 or 5 years and in your case the Lithium 10 years battery. Buying a new battery every few years (and change it yourself) is much cheaper than having your mechanical watch serviced. With these fixed pins and therefor limited strap options this will never be a dress watch but always a rugged field watch as intended.

I used to love going to Bertucci's pizza when I was a kid because they would give pizza dough to kids to play with

where do you recc going to in order to get cool watchbands for these styles? leather and tactical styles?

Are the lugs fixed on the Bertucci titanium? The plastic case ones, that go for like $40 sometimes, have fixed bars.

I think this is a great looking watch. I couldn't care less btw about it being quartz so that the 2nd hand is microns off the mark ... it keeps good time and looks good.
