03The community take

Owners talk.

“

Owners widely praise the Alsta Motoscaphe for its 70s cool aesthetic and its historical significance, notably its appearance in the movie Jaws. Reviewers highlight its satisfying tool watch nature, particularly for motorcyclists, and the comfort provided by the destro crown. Some owners find the Seiko NH35 movement to be basic, while others consider its use a drawback, and the watch is seen as overpriced at MSRP but a fun summer piece in the $500-600 range. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Alsta Motoscaphe well for its unique style and historical connection, despite some reservations about the movement and price.
