Maserati R8873640008 Sfida Chronograph Blue Dial Men's Watch
Ref. R8873640008
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 64 Maserati watches in stock.The Sfida collection exists to translate Maserati's motorsport identity into something worn on the wrist rather than bolted to a dashboard — the tachymeter bezel is functional punctuation on that idea, not decoration. Gold PVD over steel gives the case and bracelet a warmer register than raw brushed metal, and against it the sunray blue dial with its three chronograph sub-dials reads with more contrast than the colour alone would suggest. At 44mm and 11mm thin, the case sits flatter against the wrist than the diameter implies, and 176 grams means the bracelet has genuine presence without pulling. The deployant clasp releases cleanly one-handed, which matters on a watch worn in the spirit its bezel suggests.

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.
What 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.
