Maserati R8821124001 Sorpasso Automatic Black Leather Strap Watch - W81276
Ref. R8821124001
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 £375 across 78 Maserati watches in stock.The Sorpasso collection takes its name from the Italian word for overtaking — an appropriate banner for a dress-sport watch built around the spectacle of its own movement. Rather than opening the dial entirely, Maserati cut a single aperture at six o'clock, framing the Miyota 82S0's balance wheel as a focal point against the black sunray dial. The Miyota 82S0 is a Citizen-made movement, Japanese in origin and well regarded for its dependability; here it earns its keep visually as well as mechanically. On the wrist, the rose gold PVD case reads warmer than the usual steel-and-black combination, and the stamped crocodile-texture leather pulls the same tonal register as the buckle coating. At 42mm it is a confident fit for a medium to large wrist, and 80 grams sits in the bracket where an automatic is felt without becoming fatiguing across a long day.

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?
It can, over time. Mineral glass handles daily wear but will pick up fine scratches that sapphire would not.
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 comparedHow long does it run for when it's not worn?
About 42 hours fully wound — enough to survive a night off the wrist, but not a full weekend.
What size strap does it take?
21mm. 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.
Has the price changed recently?
It's currently at its highest recorded price. It's ranged between £339 and £350, today it's £350.
