Maserati R8823124002 Sorpasso Automatic Bracelet Watch - W81275
Ref. R8823124002
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 £429 across 130 Maserati watches in stock.The Sorpasso collection carries the weight of a marque founded in Bologna in 1914, one whose trident badge has always stood for a particular combination of Italian design discipline and mechanical ambition. Translating that into a wristwatch means the movement cannot simply be hidden — here it is partially exposed through an open-heart sub-dial at six o'clock, echoing the way Maserati has always worn its engineering visibly. The blue sunray dial shifts with the light in the way that finish tends to, and the gold-toned baton indices and hands read cleanly against it without crowding the exposed movement beneath. At 42mm the case sits with some presence on the wrist without overreaching, and the exhibition caseback continues the display-of-workings theme on both sides. The steel bracelet is the expected partner for a dial this assertive.

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.
