Now 50 years after the release of the original model Alsta has recently re-introduced the Nautoscaph Superautomatic into the market. The brand\u2019s reissue of their most prominent watch focusses on expertly combining the classic design with the best modern technology, in order to present to us a new and improved classic.\u00a0<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 style=\"text-align:center\"><strong>The Design&nbsp;<\/strong><br><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In the design of the Nautoscaph Superautomatic reissue, Alsta has shown that you truly can improve and update a classic fan-favourite timepiece but still keeping the character of the original design. The attention to detail in the creation of this watch is evident, however, this is not an absolute duplicate of the original. Alsta has done a good job of streamlining the look of the model in order to optimize its performance.&nbsp;<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The case is made of stainless steel with polished edges and the classic cushion shape of the model has been preserved. The case is also larger than the original at 38mm, giving it a more modernized appearance.&nbsp;<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"617\" height=\"616\" src=\"https:\/\/www.firstclasswatches.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/beauty-shot.jpg\" alt=\"Alsta Nautoscaph Superautomatic\" class=\"wp-image-19984\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.firstclasswatches.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/beauty-shot.jpg 617w, https:\/\/www.firstclasswatches.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/beauty-shot-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.firstclasswatches.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/beauty-shot-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.firstclasswatches.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/beauty-shot-510x509.jpg 510w, https:\/\/www.firstclasswatches.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/beauty-shot-360x359.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.firstclasswatches.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/beauty-shot-120x120.jpg 120w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 617px) 100vw, 617px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Alsta wanted this to be the timepiece for every situation. The versatile design shows this watch was intended to be worn outdoors as well as during more elegant occasions. The dial has been kept fairly simple. Black in colour printed with a mix of large Arabic number hour-markers and indices. All the hands are luminescent, filled with C3 Super-LumiNova. The hours and minutes hands are a sleek sword shape, while the seconds\u2019 hand is thin with an arrow at the end.&nbsp;<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The dial is protected by a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal which is domed, as a nod to the original 1970\u2019s design. One of the differences between the original and the new Nautoscaph Superautomatic is the lack of a magnifying window on the crystal. The brand has commented that the decision to remove the window was in order to protect the integrity of the sapphire and to keep the crystal stronger.&nbsp;<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The model reissue also comes with either a rubber strap, ideal for diving, or a metal bracelet. The stainless steel bracelet resembles the one on the original design, giving it a stylish vintage look. Fashionable but robust, the design of the bracelet carries on the intended versatility of the watch.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"613\" height=\"615\" src=\"https:\/\/www.firstclasswatches.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/alsta-design.jpg\" alt=\"Alsta Nautoscaph Superautomatic\" class=\"wp-image-19983\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.firstclasswatches.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/alsta-design.jpg 613w, https:\/\/www.firstclasswatches.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/alsta-design-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.firstclasswatches.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/alsta-design-300x301.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.firstclasswatches.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/alsta-design-510x512.jpg 510w, https:\/\/www.firstclasswatches.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/alsta-design-360x361.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.firstclasswatches.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/alsta-design-120x120.jpg 120w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 613px) 100vw, 613px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 style=\"text-align:center\"><strong>Functions<\/strong><br><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The new Nautoscaph Superautomatic keeps a lot of its original functions as well.
