Stepping up in Maserati's range
The Sorpasso collection takes its name from the Italian word for overtaking — the moment a car moves past the competition — and the brief throughout has been to carry that motorsport energy into something worn on the wrist. The Maserati Trident sits at the centre of a deep blue sunray dial whose finish shifts from near-navy to a lighter blue depending on where the light catches it, framed by the warm pink of the rose gold PVD case in a contrast that is deliberately bold rather than understated. At 42mm and 90 grams the watch has presence without being unwieldy, and the blue leather strap pulls the dial colour down onto the wrist in a way that makes the whole thing read as a considered set. The chronograph sub-dials and small seconds sit against the blue sunray without competing with it — the rose-toned hands and indices do enough to keep everything legible. The Miyota MJS15 underneath is a Citizen-made quartz chronograph calibre with a reputation for consistency and low maintenance, which suits a watch built around this kind of daily, unprecious use.

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?
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.
