More info from Bertucci: Bertucci is excited to introduce the new A-2RA RETROFORM ™. This is a painstakingly accurate and an authentic new offering influenced by 1960’s Vietnam War era US Army issued watches, which were made by several companies mostly defunct or surviving in name only. Bertucci, did their homework and made a few  “authentic updates “ that were in the sprit of the original specification. The new RETROFORM is the best out there from an authenticity, quality and value perspective. For example, Bertucci is using today’s men’s standard 40 mm case vs. the originals which varied from 34 to 36 mm,  which was the standard men's size range in the 1960’s. The dial is exactly the same,  just a wider diameter to fit the modern 40 mm case.  Bertucci even got a hold of the original US Army specification and drawing issued to manufactures in 1960. They then respectfully and carefully made sensible improvements, and tweaks, but still close to the issued watches. This is important for us, as this watch played a big part in what is an iconic & classic American field watch. Bertuccis makes authentic performance products, not “ reproductions”, hence the name “ RETROFORM”.
