Maserati R8823118002 Automatic Skeleton Watch in Black Steel and Milanese Mesh

The expert's eye: what makes the difference

As soon as you hold this piece from the Epoca collection, it's the full opening onto the heart of the machine that captures your attention. Holding the case, you immediately feel the density of the 42mm stainless steel, whose matte black finish offers a silky touch and a strong presence. The skeleton dial is the true highlight: it exposes the gears, bridges and balance wheel in full motion. Unlike a solid dial that hides its secret, this model offers a permanent mechanical spectacle. The silver indices stand out clearly against the complexity of the mechanism, ensuring that reading the time remains intuitive despite the abundance of visual details.

The black Milanese mesh strap is a triumph in terms of comfort. To the touch, it is cool and extremely supple, hugging the curves of the wrist without any stiffness. Unlike a leather strap that can deteriorate with moisture or perspiration, this metal mesh breathes and retains its original appearance over the years. The sliding buckle is a major practical advantage: it allows you to adjust the length to the nearest millimetre, without needing specific tools or removing links. This gives a perfect fit, whether your wrist swells slightly at the end of the day or not.

On the technical side, the absence of a battery is a concrete benefit. The automatic movement recharges simply through the oscillations of your arm, meaning that as long as you wear it, it lives with you. Water resistance to 100 metres is a guarantee of everyday robustness. Where many open-dial watches fear water, this model accompanies you without worry in the shower or during a swimming session. The mineral glass effectively protects the whole, offering clear transparency to admire the silver finishes of the internal components that catch the light with every movement of your arm.
