Maserati R8871612006 Traguardo Chronograph Strap Watch - W81215
Ref. R8871612006
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 76 Maserati watches in stock.Traguardo — the Italian word for finish line — is the collection Maserati built around the idea that a watch and a car dashboard should share a design language. The horizontal arrangement of the chronograph sub-dials here is a direct lift from the instrument cluster of a sports car cockpit, and the intention reads clearly on the wrist rather than just in press material. At 45mm the case runs wide, but 12.2mm of thickness means it does not stack as tall as sports chronographs of this size often do, and the silicone strap's curves keep it close to the wrist rather than bridging above it. The contrast between the black dial and the silver stick indices is sharp, and the navy bezel element gives the face some depth without breaking the monochrome discipline of the rest. The Miyota JS50 inside is a sensible choice at this scale — Japanese quartz, accurate and straightforward to service, suited to a watch worn hard.

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.
