Stepping up in Maserati's range
The Velocità name is borrowed directly from the Italian for speed, and the Slim designation earns its place: at 9.9mm, this is a chronograph that disappears under a shirt cuff rather than catching on it, which is a harder thing to achieve in a 41mm case than it looks. The green sunray dial against rose gold hands and indices is a combination that reads quietly elegant at a glance and more deliberately styled in direct light, when the dial's grain becomes visible. The bracelet tapers to a narrow 13mm lug attachment, giving the whole thing a tapered, almost dressy silhouette for a watch with a tachymeter bezel. The deployant clasp opens on two buttons and sits flush when closed.

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?
13mm. 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.
