Maserati R8873621016 Successo Chronograph Bracelet Watch - W81149
Ref. R8873621016
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 £325 across 73 Maserati watches in stock.The Successo line is Maserati's clearest attempt to carry the trident onto the wrist in a way that reads as genuinely automotive rather than merely branded — the dial's matte blue texture and prominent trident indices draw on the instrument panels and livery of the cars rather than reaching for generic sports-watch visual language. At 44mm across and only 12mm deep, it wears more quietly than those dimensions suggest. The two-tone bracelet, with gold PVD running through the centre links against polished steel, gives it a dressy undertone that the matte dial surface keeps from tipping into flash. The deployant clasp uses a double-button safety release, and the tapered link configuration means the bracelet follows the wrist rather than sitting stiffly above it. The movement is a Seiko Instruments VD53 — a calibre chosen by fashion-sport watches that want a chronograph mechanism which will run accurately for years without fuss, and which can be battery-swapped without sending the watch anywhere. At 170 grams on the wrist, it is a presence rather than a whisper.

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?
Showering yes, swimming no. 50m covers splashes and brief immersion, but a swimming stroke generates well above the pressure that figure describes.
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?
20mm. 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.
