Maserati R8873612006 Traguardo Chronograph Mesh Bracelet Watch - W81355
Ref. R8873612006
Sits in Maserati’s upper tier here — more premium than three quarters of the Maserati watches we list, which start at £109.
Price range £109 to £429 across 104 Maserati watches in stock.Traguardo means "finish line" in Italian, and Maserati's watch division has always used that lineage to frame a collection aimed squarely at the motor-sport aesthetic — dashboard numerals, contrast sub-dials, the trident at twelve. The black dial here reads as a direct translation of an instrument cluster, with blue accent details pulling the eye to the chronograph registers in a way that works equally under artificial light. At 45mm and 190 grams it is a substantial object on the wrist, and the mesh bracelet earns its place: that sliding folding clasp adjusts continuously along the band without tools, which on a watch this heavy makes the difference between a fit that settles and one that shifts. The gunmetal tone carries through from case to bracelet without interruption, which gives the whole thing more coherence than the individual parts might suggest.

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.
Water resistance explainedWill the glass scratch?
It can, over time. Mineral glass handles daily wear but will pick up fine scratches that sapphire would not.
Sapphire, mineral and acrylic comparedDoes it need a battery?
Yes. It is quartz, so expect a battery change every two to three years at a jeweller.
Quartz, automatic and solar comparedWhat 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.
