Maserati R8873600011 Competizione Blue IP Bracelet Watch - W81296
Ref. R8873600011
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 takes its name and its temperament from Maserati's motorsport heritage, and the brief here was clearly a single, committed colour story: blue PVD on the case, blue on the bracelet, blue on the dial. Nothing breaks ranks. The alternating polished and matte satin finishing on the case gives the coating something to do beyond colour alone, catching light differently depending on the angle. At 43mm across and 11mm thick, it sits flatter than most chronographs of this diameter, which means it clears a shirt cuff without the usual bulk. The Seiko VX9J driving it adds date and a 24-hour indication alongside the chronograph — a layout that earns its dial real estate, even if quartz is the right call for a watch built around wearability over mechanical theatre.

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.
