Maserati R8873612041 Traguardo Chronograph Black Dial Men's Watch
Ref. R8873612041
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 132 Maserati watches in stock.Traguardo means "finish line" in Italian, and Maserati's watches have always borrowed their vocabulary from motorsport. This chronograph makes that lineage legible: the tachymeter on the fixed bezel is there to calculate speed from elapsed time, the crown is guarded and screw-down, and the trident pressed into the crown winder ties the instrument directly to the cars. At 45mm the watch wears large, and it does not pretend otherwise. The black dial keeps the three sub-dials — 30-minute counter, 24-hour display, running seconds — from crowding each other, with the date tucked between four and five o'clock where it stays out of the way. The bracelet is the detail that lifts it: brushed outer links against polished inner links give the full gold PVD finish enough contrast to avoid reading as flat, and the push-button deployant makes daily use straightforward.

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.
