Maserati R8823112006 Traguardo Automatic Bracelet Watch - W81331

Ref. R8823112006

Premium

Sits in Maserati’s upper tier here — more premium than three quarters of the Maserati watches we list, which start at £104.

Price range £104 to £419 across 106 Maserati watches in stock.

The Traguardo line is where Maserati's licensed watch range makes its most direct case for the automotive connection — the name means finishing line in Italian, and the brief was clearly a sports watch that carries the trident badge without apology. The movement specified for the job is the Miyota 8N24, a calibre that Citizen's movement division built specifically for skeleton display: the gear train and balance wheel are the dial, which is a reasonable thing to do with a movement at this tier and results in a face that reads as genuinely mechanical rather than decorative. At 42mm with an 11mm profile the case sits in proportion on most wrists without pushing into dress-watch territory, and the contrasting blue bezel against the silver case gives it a clear sporting character. The bracelet uses a dual push-button deployment clasp, which releases cleanly and holds securely; link adjustment requires a pin tool, so sizing is straightforward but not something done on the fly.

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?

Yes. At 100m it is rated for swimming and snorkelling, though not for diving.

Will the glass scratch?

It can, over time. Mineral glass handles daily wear but will pick up fine scratches that sapphire would not.

Does it need a battery?

No. It is automatic — the motion of your wrist winds it, and there is no cell to replace.

What size strap does it take?

22mm. 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.
