46mm rubber case | Blue dial | Quartz | Date display | Mineral crystal | Rubber | 5 ATM (50m) water resistant | Men's | 24-month warranty
The Maserati R8851151005 puts substantial presence on the wrist, built around a rubber case and a blue dial. It measures 46 mm across.
Case and Wrist Presence
Case diameter is 46 mm, worked in rubber. At 46 mm it reads as a statement piece without becoming unwearable, and suits a wrist of roughly 17 cm upwards.
Reading the Dial
The face is finished in blue.
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.
- Date display - the current date at a glance
- Water resistance - 5 ATM (50 metres)
- Mineral crystal - protecting the dial
Strap, Clasp and Fit
The strap is rubber. Silicone shrugs off sweat and water, which makes it the sensible choice if the watch is going to the gym or the beach.
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
- Larger wrists that swallow a conventional 40 mm to 42 mm case
- The buyer who wants unmistakable wrist presence without a precious-metal price
- Building a blue-led accessory wardrobe
- Gift buyers looking for something recognisable, boxed and properly warranted
Styling Notes
Blue is the most versatile dial colour after black - formal enough for a suit, relaxed enough for denim, and distinctive enough to be remembered. The silicone strap keeps it firmly casual, which is exactly where this kind of case belongs.
Care and Maintenance
A watch at this level rewards very little maintenance, but the little it asks for makes the difference between one that still looks sharp in five years and one that does not. 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. Silicone cleans up with warm soapy water and a soft brush, which is worth doing occasionally to stop the underside picking up a shine.
Store it away from magnets and out of direct heat, and it will hold its rate and its finish.
About the Brand and Ownership
The appeal of a Maserati is that it is unmistakable. You are buying a design point of view rather than an anonymous case with a dial in it. Quartz keeps the running costs near zero - a battery every few years and the occasional seal check is the whole of the maintenance schedule. Basic care goes a long way - keep it clear of solvents and perfume, rinse the strap if it has been in salt water, and store it somewhere dry.
The Short Version
What you are getting is a big watch that knows it is a big watch. 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. Delivery is countrywide, tracked from the moment it leaves us.
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 blue dial is the thing people will comment on. Everything about it is built to be worn, not admired in a drawer.
