The Velocità takes its name and its palette directly from the road — Maserati's deep blue, the colour the marque has long used on its performance cars, carries across both the sunburst dial and the tachymeter bezel, so the whole face reads as a single coordinated surface rather than a collection of borrowed motorsport details. The trident sits at twelve where you would expect a crown or logo to be understated; here it is not. The Miyota JS25 inside is a Citizen movement division calibre with a solid reputation for accuracy and near-zero maintenance — not a movement that needs coddling. At 43mm the watch has presence on the wrist without becoming unwieldy, and the deployant clasp with its double push-button release means it will not come undone accidentally during the kind of day the dial suggests.

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 comparedIs it a men's or women's watch?
Listed as men's.
