Few big screen timepieces are as iconic as the watch worn by Richard Dreyfuss in Jaws. While many moviegoers have seen the ocean-ready watch on the wrist of Matt Hooper, few have ever had the chance to slap that same piece onto their own wrist, as Alsta, the company that produced the watch, closed its doors not long after the movie was released. That brand is back, however, and with it the Alsta Nautoscaph II. Designed to look like the one in the film, the Alsta Nautoscaph II is rugged and durable, water-resistant, anti-magnetic, and shock-resistant. The 4omm timepiece looks good both on land and out at sea.
