Built on the proven Maraí 401 model, it keeps time not only with precision, but with the rhythm of the game and the people who live it.

Special project watch

A watch inspired by the pitch.

At the heart of the Pitch Master is a dial inspired by football’s most recognisable stage. Deep green vertical striping reflects freshly cut grass under stadium lights, capturing the energy of matchday. A custom 45-minute bezel enables precise tracking of each half, including added time — a functional detail rooted in the game itself. Signature elements complete the design: a bold yellow seconds hand inspired by Belfast’s Harland & Wolff cranes, and the Irish Football Association crest at 6 o’clock. The caseback features a deeply engraved Irish Football Association crest, creating a permanent mark of authenticity and collaboration. Crafted in solid steel, the construction reflects durability and tradition — values shared by both the sport and its supporters.

Sold out in under 24 hours.

This project was built around a simple message: “There’s No Place Like Home.” Instead of leading with technical specs, the release led with meaning, celebrating Belfast in a way that felt honest and earned. Scarcity wasn’t used as a gimmick. It was part of the integrity of the project: a small run, made for people who would truly understand it. And the response proved the point. The entire release sold out in under 24 hours, not because it was louder than everything else on the market, but because it was more real. It resonated with collectors, locals, and anyone who understands what it means to carry a piece of home with you.
