Maserati Potenza Men’s 42mm Watch (R8821142001)

Maserati’s Potenza takes a faceted, octagonal case and opens up the dial to show the movement working underneath — a very different look from the brand’s plainer three-hand pieces. \n Case and Wrist Presence \n The 42mm octagonal case has a rose gold-toned bezel set into a steel case body, giving it a two-tone edge rather than a single flat colour, and the faceted shape stands apart from the usual round case. \n Dial and Legibility \n Rather than a solid face, the centre of the dial is cut away to show the gear train beneath, framed by a printed minute track and applied stick markers around the edge. The Maserati trident sits above the exposed movement, with “Maserati” printed below it. It’s a dial built to be looked into rather than read at a glance. \n Movement and Functions \n Hours, minutes and a running seconds hand — a simple three-hand layout despite the open dial construction. \n Strap Clasp and Fit \n A blue leather strap with contrast stitching pairs the case’s cooler tones against a strap that adds some colour. Leather straps soften and mould to the wrist with wear, and will eventually need replacing as the leather ages. \n Care and Maintenance \n Keep leather away from prolonged water exposure and direct heat, which dry it out and can crack the surface over time. Rated to 10 ATM, which is enough for swimming, though a leather strap is still best kept dry where practical. Wipe the case with a soft cloth to avoid marking the exposed dial components. \n Who This Watch Suits \n Someone who wants a visibly mechanical-looking dial and an unusual case shape rather than a conventional round watch. \n Technical Specifications \n Case diameter 42mm Case shape Octagonal Dial Open skeleton Strap Blue leather Water resistance 10 ATM (100m) \n Buying With Confidence \n Covered by a 24-month international manufacturer warranty on the movement, excluding battery and normal wear.
