Maserati R8873640024 Sfida Chronograph Bracelet Watch - W81272
Ref. R8873640024
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 £419 across 106 Maserati watches in stock.The Sfida name translates from Italian as "challenge" — an apt label for a collection that plants Maserati's trident squarely on the wrist rather than the bonnet. The brief here was a chronograph that reads as motorsport without requiring a racing suit: the tachymeter bezel frames the silver sunburst dial, gold-tone hands and indices catch the light against it, and the two-tone case carries the yellow gold PVD detailing through to the bracelet so the whole thing reads as a considered object rather than an assembly of borrowed parts. At 11.4mm thick, a 44mm chronograph sits notably flat — it moves under a cuff without the case edge catching, which is not a given at this diameter with a tachymeter ring added to the circumference. The Miyota movement inside is Japanese quartz, built to run without attention for years, and the deployant clasp with push-button releases means on and off is quick and the fit repeatable.

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.
Is it a men's or women's watch?
Listed as men's.
