Stepping up in Maserati's range
The Attrazione line draws its character directly from Maserati's automotive identity, and the green sunray dial makes that connection plainly: the shade is drawn from the racing livery the marque has used for decades, and it shifts noticeably between artificial light and daylight in a way that flat dials do not. Silver baton indices and pencil hands keep the face uncluttered despite the chronograph subdials, and the Trident sits on the dial without competing with the time. At 10.5mm thick, 43mm sits comfortably rather than aggressively, and 130 grams on a stainless bracelet gives the watch a presence on the wrist without feeling punishing across a long day. The gift set adds a second bracelet — same steel, black detailing — which means the watch reads differently depending on which is fitted, a more useful distinction than having two separate watches for different occasions. The SII movement inside is Seiko's instruments division work: not the same as wearing a Seiko, but the same manufacturer's engineering discipline applied to a supplied calibre, which in practice means the timekeeping will be accurate and the movement will ask very little of its owner.

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?
Showering yes, swimming no. 50m covers splashes and brief immersion, but a swimming stroke generates well above the pressure that figure describes.
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 £239 and £249, today it's £249.
