Maserati R8873624008 Sorpasso Chronograph Bracelet Watch - W81328

Ref. R8873624008

Among our 132 Maserati watchesThis watch£259
Premium

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.

The Sorpasso collection takes its name from the Italian overtaking manoeuvre — the decisive pass — and translates that into a chronograph built around the visual language of Maserati's instrument panels. The grey dial with contrasting sub-dials reads like a dashboard at a glance, which is straightforward enough, but the detail work on the bracelet and case finishing earns a second look in direct light. At 42mm it fills the wrist without overreaching, and the butterfly clasp keeps the bracelet sitting flat through the day. The 100m rating makes it robust enough for anything short of serious submersion, and the luminous hands mean it holds its legibility after dark without ceremony.

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?

Unlikely. Sapphire is second only to diamond in hardness and shrugs off everyday marking.

Sapphire, mineral and acrylic compared
