Maserati R8853151005 Attrazione Chronograph Bracelet Watch - W81182
Ref. R8853151005
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 Attrazione line is Maserati's attempt to translate the visual language of its cars into something worn on the wrist — the sunray-brushed blue dial and prominent trident are doing exactly that work, and at 43mm with a 10.5mm profile the watch carries the look without the bulk that usually comes with a dial this busy. The VD33 from Seiko Instruments is worth knowing about: it is not a stopwatch movement despite the chronograph styling, but a multifunction calendar calibre tracking a second time zone alongside the small seconds. For someone who travels or works across time zones, that is more practical than a stopwatch they would rarely use. The bracelet mixes polished and brushed links, and the two-button push release on the folding clasp is a more considered fastening than the plain deployants often found at this kind of specification.

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?
Showering yes, swimming no. 50m covers splashes and brief immersion, but a swimming stroke generates well above the pressure that figure describes.
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.
