Maserati R8873600009 Competizione Chronograph Bracelet Watch - W81242
Ref. R8873600009
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 Competizione line borrows its name and its spirit from Maserati's motorsport heritage, translating the drama of the racing paddock into a watch built around a deep-blue sunray dial and a black ceramic unidirectional bezel that reads immediately as sport-diver in its references. At 43mm the case has presence, but 11.20mm of thickness keeps it from reading as bulky — it sits low enough on the wrist that the steel bracelet, secured by a push-button deployant, feels like a single composed piece rather than a watch dropped onto a strap. At 170 grams the bracelet adds real weight, which will suit those who find lighter bracelets feel insubstantial. The Miyota JS25 at the heart of it is a Japanese quartz calibre with a strong reputation for accuracy and long-term reliability, which is the right choice for 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.
