The Epoca sits within Maserati's watch line as the piece most openly drawn from the marque's Italian coachbuilding past — the name itself signals that intent. Where other models in the range lean toward contemporary sport, this one reaches back to the cleaner proportions of mid-century dress watches, using the Trident badge at twelve as the single flourish that places it unmistakably within the brand. At 42mm the case reads large for a dress watch, but the polished silver steel and the navy sunray dial pull it toward formality rather than bulk. The rose-gold baton indexes work quietly against the blue — visible without shouting — and the dial's depth shifts noticeably under different light. The embossed crocodile-pattern calf strap is the detail that ties the automotive and horological references together: it reads as period-correct, and it will soften and settle with wear in a way that suits the watch's character.

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?
It can, over time. Mineral glass handles daily wear but will pick up fine scratches that sapphire would not.
Does it need a battery?
Yes. It is quartz, so expect a battery change every two to three years at a jeweller.
Is it a men's or women's watch?
Listed as men's.
