Bertucci A-2T Original Classic Men's Watch - Durable Analog Wristwatch with Nylon Strap, Water Resistant for Outdoor, Hiking & Everyday Wear

TLDR: great quality quartz watch for a respectable price. Just as tough as Bertucci's other watches but with a sapphire crystal and lithium battery.I bought this watch to replace my Bertucci A2-T (quartz, titatium, mineral crystal, 3-year battery) which I purchased as a graduation gift for myself in 2019. At the time, Bertucci was an unknown brand to me and I was not confident in spending an extra US$60 for the Super Classic's sapphire crystal and 10-year lithium battery. Honestly, I should've went with the Super Classic from the get go but I sure am happy I have one now.Functionally, it's exactly the same as the A2-T: same titanium construction and reliable, silent, quartz movement, very bright lume, same 200m water resistance, screw-down crown, date complication, recessed crystal, and nylon zulu strap. However, the Super Classic's more durable sapphire resists scratches way more than the A2-T's hardened mineral crystal. The 10-year lithium battery also increases my level of confidence in the Super Classic.I had a choice between a more expensive Seiko Presage Matcha limited edition (automatic, mineral, 316L stainless steel [SS] case, leather strap) and the similarly priced Tissot Quickster (quartz, sapphire, black 316L SS case, nylon NATO strap), and Luminox Sea Turtle XS (quartz, mineral, polycarbonate case, rubber strap) but I chose the Super Classic after three months of discernment. You just can't beat the ease of maintenance and accuracy of the movement, durability of the titanium case and sapphire crystal, and simple yet elegantly rugged design of the Super Classic.8-Month Update (March 2022): the matte finish of the A2-T and Super Classic really does show everyday wear and tear but I think it adds character and is very nice to see on a field watch. The scuff marks on the titanium are only visible upon close inspection and I know the watch was designed to take punishment. Nothing to update on the movement, it's silent and runs smoothly and the lume remains as bright as expected :) Interestingly, the thick zulu strap doesn't stink even after almost four years (I put my old A2-T strap [purchased in 2019] on my Super Classic). Drying the strap on a fan or car dashboard after climbs helps a lot.Warranty Update (October 2023): I sent my second Super Classic in for warranty (movement stops arbitrarily and the minute hand ticks when the second hand does) sans strap. Bertucci sent back a completely new watch (sans strap of course) in a little over 2 weeks. Very impressed with the warranty service of Bertucci!
