Sits in Maserati’s upper tier here — more premium than three quarters of the Maserati watches we list, which start at £109.
Price range £109 to £419 across 117 Maserati watches in stock.The Potenza carries a 43mm colour-coated stainless steel case, 13.7mm deep, with a black PVD finish that gives it a purposeful, dark presence on the wrist. The wide 24mm leather strap in black fastens with a buckle clasp and fits wrists from 170 to 220mm. Beneath the sapphire crystal sits a skeleton dial with gold-tone detailing, allowing the automatic movement to show through. The contrast between the open dial's warm gold tones and the blacked-out case is the defining visual detail of this watch.

Learn more about Maserati
The Maserati brothers founded their workshop in Bologna in 1914 and built racing cars that won the Targa Florio and the Indianapolis 500. The trident emblem comes from the Fountain of Neptune in Bologna.
The watches are a licensed line produced by Morellato Group in Italy, not by the carmaker. They draw openly on automotive design: tachymeter bezels, perforated leather straps recalling racing gloves, dashboard-style dials, and case shapes referencing grilles and instrument binnacles.
Movements are quartz and bought-in automatic. The appeal is the association and the styling rather than the mechanics.

Frequently asked questions, and things you should know about this watch
Can I swim with it?
Yes. At 100m it is rated for swimming and snorkelling, though not for diving.
Water resistance explainedWill the glass scratch?
Unlikely. Sapphire is second only to diamond in hardness and shrugs off everyday marking.
Sapphire, mineral and acrylic comparedDoes it need a battery?
No. It is automatic — the motion of your wrist winds it, and there is no cell to replace.
Quartz, automatic and solar comparedWhat size strap does it take?
24mm. Any strap of that width will fit, and on most modern watches quick-release bars make the swap a two-minute job with no tools.
Is it a men's or women's watch?
Listed as men's.
