Stepping up in the same colour and case shape
The Competizione collection draws its name and its visual language directly from Maserati's motorsport heritage, and this watch makes that connection legible at a glance: the fluted fixed bezel echoes the detailing you find on performance car grilles, the sunbrushed blue dial carries the trident emblem at twelve, and the three sub-dials lay out day, date and 24-hour time in the manner of an instrument cluster. It is a deliberate piece of automotive branding, and it commits to that identity without apology. At 43mm and 11.5mm deep, it sits with authority on the wrist without becoming unwieldy — proportions that suit the chronograph-style layout well. The three-link bracelet alternates brushed outer links with polished inner ones, which gives the steel some visual depth rather than reading as a plain slab, and the double-button deployment clasp adjusts via standard push pins, so sizing it properly takes a few minutes rather than a trip to a jeweller.

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?
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.
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 £219 and £235, today it's £235.
