Stepping up in Maserati's range
The Sorpasso collection draws its character from Maserati's motorsport heritage, translating the marque's visual language — long Italian curves, restrained drama — into a wrist-worn form. The cream dial with its gold-tone accents carries that warmth across without overplaying it. At 42mm and just under 12mm thick, this sits as a substantial but not unwieldy sports watch on the wrist, and the polished steel case reads cleanly against the brown leather strap. The Miyota 2315 inside is a Citizen Group calibre with a strong record for consistent accuracy and near-zero maintenance across years of daily wear — a practical choice behind a dressy exterior.

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?
Yes. It is quartz, so expect a battery change every two to three years at a jeweller.
Quartz, automatic and solar comparedWhat 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.
Cheapest place to buy
F.Hinds is the only UK retailer we track stocking this reference, so there is nothing to compare it against today.
Has the price changed recently?
It's currently at its highest recorded price. It's ranged between £175 and £185, today it's £185.
