Welcome to The Spec Sheet, where we use digestible, 60-second clips to showcase everything you need to know about a particular watch. The Spec Sheet hits all the details: Case size, wrist feel, thickness, movement, reference number, and (yes!) lug-to-lug dimensions. It's the next-best thing to having the watch in your own hands.

The Panerai Luminor PAM 1048 is for those who might want to join the legion of Panerai collectors – the famous Paneristi – but for whom a 44mm-plus watch might be a bit daunting. At just 40mm (and 15.5mm thick), the PAM 1048 is still pure Panerai. It features the recognizable cushion-shaped case, but in a slightly more wearable form. The date window features an internal magnifier (i.e., it sits under the crystal and not above it, like you might see on a certain brand that starts with "R"), and is nicely balanced with a sub-seconds register at nine o'clock. With its shorter lugs, flatter crystal, and other defining features, the PAM 1048 still features Panerai's classic "Bettarini" case, named after Alessandro Bettarini, the head of Panerai's design department in the '90s.
