Maserati R8853100027 Competizione Two Tone Watch - EXCLUSIVE - W81191
Ref. R8853100027
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 £325 across 73 Maserati watches in stock.The Competizione line takes its name from Maserati's racing heritage, and the brief here was clearly to bring that automotive drama to the wrist rather than the track. The combination of a fluted yellow-gold PVD bezel against the deep blue dial is the central gesture — a palette that borrows from the marque's more extravagant road cars rather than anything understated. At 43mm and 12mm thick, it wears with the presence that size implies without becoming unwieldy, and the mixed two-tone bracelet — alternating gold and silver links — carries the dial's contrast logic all the way to the clasp. The fold-over deployment has dual push-buttons and a safety lock, which at this bracelet width makes for a secure and considered closure. The Miyota 2415 inside is a Citizen-made quartz calibre: unfussy, accurate and straightforward to service, which suits a watch whose character is entirely visual. The screw-down caseback earns the 100m rating honestly, and the lume on the baton hands and indices means the dial stays readable when the light drops.

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?
Yes. It is quartz, so expect a battery change every two to three years at a jeweller.
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.
