A stainless steel case and a white dial is what the Maserati R8853151017 is built around, in a generously sized case. It measures 43 mm across and 10 mm deep.
Case and Wrist Presence
Case diameter is 43 mm and 10 mm deep, worked in stainless steel. The surface treatment is polished. At 43 mm it lands in the range most men’s wrists take comfortably, and it will sit under a cuff.
Reading the Dial
A white dial sits behind the crystal. Chronograph registers are recessed into the dial, which adds depth to the face without crowding the hour track.
Movement and Functions
A quartz movement drives the watch. That means accuracy which needs no daily attention, no winding routine, and no rate drift to correct.
- Chronograph – stopwatch timing from the dial
- Date display – the current date at a glance
- Water resistance – 5 ATM (50 metres)
- Mineral crystal – protecting the dial
Strap, Clasp and Fit
The bracelet is stainless steel. Sizing is a five-minute job for a jeweller – links come out to bring it to your wrist.
Water Resistance and Everyday Durability
The watch is rated to 5 ATM, or 50 metres of static pressure. That covers rain, hand washing and a swim, but not diving or high-pressure water. Make sure the crown is fully seated before any contact with water.
A mineral crystal protects the dial – harder than acrylic and more shatter-resistant than sapphire, which is a sensible trade-off on a case this size.
Who This Watch Suits
- An everyday wrist size that still reads as a proper men’s watch
- Building a white-led accessory wardrobe
- Anyone who will actually use a stopwatch – or simply wants the busier dial that comes with one
- Gift buyers looking for something recognisable, boxed and properly warranted
Styling Notes
A white dial reads clean and formal, and it is the most legible option in bright light.
Care and Maintenance
None of the care below is onerous. It is the difference between a watch that ages well and one that simply gets old. Have the battery replaced by a watchmaker rather than a kiosk – a proper service reseats the case gasket at the same time, which is what actually preserves the water rating. A flat battery left in the case is the single most common cause of avoidable movement damage. A bracelet collects more than people expect. A soft toothbrush, warm water and a drop of dish soap along the links once a season keeps it looking new.
Store it away from magnets and out of direct heat, and it will hold its rate and its finish.
About the Brand and Ownership
Maserati watches sit in the sweet spot between fashion and function: recognisable design, real build quality, and a price that does not ask you to think of the watch as an investment. Quartz keeps the running costs near zero – a battery every few years and the occasional seal check is the whole of the maintenance schedule. Kept out of direct heat, away from magnets and wiped down after a sweaty day, a watch like this will outlast several phones.
The Short Version
What you are getting is an everyday size that still has presence, a chronograph dial with enough going on to hold your eye. A bracelet that gives it weight on the wrist rounds it out. It is not trying to be a heirloom piece and it does not price itself like one. It is a well-made, recognisable watch that does the job every day and looks considered doing it.

Buying With Confidence
Buying a watch online comes down to trusting the seller, so here is exactly what you get. The watch ships new and unworn in its original box with the manufacturer’s paperwork, and it is covered by the full international warranty from the date you receive it – not from the date it landed in our warehouse. We ship nationwide with tracking, and someone actually answers the phone if something goes wrong.
Under the Consumer Protection Act you have the right to return an unworn watch in its original packaging, and a manufacturing defect inside the warranty period is repaired or replaced at no cost to you.
Authenticity, Warranty and Delivery
Every Maserati watch we list is sourced new and unworn through authorised distribution and arrives in its original presentation box with the manufacturer’s documentation. This reference carries a 24-month international manufacturer warranty covering the movement, excluding the battery and normal wear to the finish and strap. Delivered anywhere in South Africa.
The white dial is the thing people will comment on. Everything about it is built to be worn, not admired in a drawer.
