Maserati R8871633007 Epoca Chronograph Taupe Leather Strap Watch - W81352

Ref. R8871633007

The Epoca collection draws on Maserati's road car heritage rather than any watchmaking lineage, and the design intent is clear throughout: the champagne sunburst dial with the trident sitting at twelve reads more as a dashboard instrument than a traditional watch face, deliberately so. At 42mm it carries its size well, partly because 11.35mm is a genuinely slim profile for a chronograph with two sub-dials — it will slide under a shirt cuff without protest, which is not something many chronographs at this diameter can claim. The rose gold PVD against green crocodile-textured leather is a pairing that suits the automotive styling without pushing into sports-watch territory, and at 70 grams the whole thing sits lightly on the wrist.

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.

Is it a men's or women's watch?

Listed as men's.
