Stepping up in Maserati's range
Traguardo — the Italian word for finish line — names a collection that draws directly on Maserati's motorsport identity. The sub-dials here are styled to read like dashboard instrumentation, a deliberate nod to the kind of gauges that would sit in front of a driver rather than on a wrist. At 45mm it is an unambiguously large watch, though 12.2mm of thickness keeps it from feeling unwieldy, and 95 grams is relatively manageable for a steel case at this diameter. The Miyota JS50 movement behind the chronograph is a Citizen Group calibre with a dependable track record in sport and fashion pieces — not elaborate, but accurate and low-maintenance, which suits a watch worn for its looks rather than its movement story. The blue dial against a brown leather strap with matching stitch is an combination that reads warmer than the usual black or white, and the tang buckle makes sizing quick across the standard precut holes.

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.
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.
