Maserati Automatic Men's Watch

What sets a Maserati automatic apart, measured across our catalogue

We compared every Maserati men's automatic watch with our full range of Maserati men's watches. The most striking difference is the skeleton dial: more than one automatic in two reveals its movement, compared with fewer than one Maserati in ten overall. That is the purpose of these watches: the mechanism becomes the decoration.

This choice comes at a cost in functions. None of the automatics in the selection shows the date or includes a chronograph, whereas more than two Maserati men's watches in five display the date and one in six is a chronograph. The leather strap is nearly three times more common here, on one watch in two compared with fewer than one in five. And the silver dial is clearly on the rise, on more than one watch in four compared with one in ten.

Water resistance, on the other hand, does not change: around nine in ten are water-resistant to 10 ATM, like the rest of the range. The median diameter is 42 mm, compared with 44 mm for the whole range, and the median thickness is 13 mm.

Wearing or winding: living with an automatic

A Maserati men's automatic watch worn every day needs nothing else. If it lies on a table for several days, it will eventually stop: this is not a fault, its mainspring has simply run down. To restart it, wear it or give it a few gentle movements, then set the time. With no date to adjust, the operation takes just a few seconds.

If you rotate between several watches, a watch winder keeps it running between wears. Avoid violent knocks, such as a golf or tennis swing, and strong magnetic fields, such as speakers or magnetic clasps, which can affect accuracy. To learn in detail what separates the two technologies, read our guide automatic or quartz, the complete guide.

Automatic or quartz at Maserati

Quartz is more accurate, slimmer, and offers the date and chronograph. The automatic needs no battery, and its visible movement brings what quartz cannot offer: the pleasure of watching the mechanism at work. A Maserati men's automatic watch is therefore chosen for the experience rather than the functions.

In terms of colours, black and blue account for nearly half of the dials: the blue Maserati men's automatic watch makes up almost one watch in four. A few models come with yellow gold or rose gold cases, which can be found in our selection of gold Maserati men's watches. The entire range, quartz included, is on the page Maserati men's watch, and automatics from other brands are in men's automatic watch.
