Maserati R8823140004 Automatic Diamond Dial Limited Edition Men's Watch
Ref. R8823140004
Sits in Maserati’s upper tier here — more premium than three quarters of the Maserati watches we list, which start at £104.
Price range £104 to £419 across 106 Maserati watches in stock.The Sfida collection takes its name from the Italian for challenge, and the brief behind it is legible in every surface decision: case lines that pull from Maserati's aerodynamic bodywork, flanks contoured to suggest air vents, and a blue guilloché dial that reads as cockpit instrument rather than dress watch face. At 44mm across the case it wears with the same deliberate presence the car range projects. The open-heart aperture at nine o'clock is where the watch earns its visual argument. Four real diamond hour markers and the Maserati trident sit on a guilloché surface that gives the dial depth in changing light, and through the aperture the balance wheel of the NH70 ticks at a measured 21,600 vph — unhurried, visible, doing its job. The NH70 is the movement Seiko's TMI subsidiary built specifically for skeleton applications: its 41-hour reserve and 24-jewel construction are chosen for longevity in an exposed configuration, and it is straightforward to service when the time comes. The butterfly clasp keeps the bracelet's link lines unbroken at the wrist, which matters on a gold-tone case that would read differently with a visible buckle breaking the run of metal.

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.
Will the glass scratch?
Unlikely. Sapphire is second only to diamond in hardness and shrugs off everyday marking.
Does it need a battery?
No. It is automatic — the motion of your wrist winds it, and there is no cell to replace.
How long does it run for when it's not worn?
About 41 hours fully wound — enough to survive a night off the wrist, but not a full weekend.
What size strap does it take?
22mm. 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.
