From the 47mm Destros and Bronzos to the monstrous 60mm Egiziano, Panerai has never shied away from large diameters, nor should they, for that matter. The first watches Panerai made were modified pocket watches - the 1936 ref. 2533 measured in at 47mm. Today, however, is about the more wearable spectrum of Panerai's catalogue. The 40mm Panerai Luminor Quaranta combines the surface-dwelling Luminor Due's compact dimensions with water resistance more fitting of a PAM. Andrew and I had a chat about all things Quaranta, which you can see in this video.
Clearly the most important thing here is the combination of approachable size, without departing from that classic Panerai look. At 40mm x 48.9mm, the Luminor Quaranta wears phenomenally well. The cushion-shaped case sits atop lugs that curve sharply downwards, so even those with wrists smaller than mine should be able to enjoy it.
All the other recognisable features are there. The REG. T.M. text that appeared with the first Richemont-era Luminors still features on the signature crown guard, locking the crown into place when not in use. I appreciate that Panerai chose the matte finish of strong directional brushing, a superior choice when compared to the highly-polished surfaces of the other 40mm Panerai, the PAM01048. The Luminor Quaranta has a 22mm lug width, with all models mounted on quick-release alligator straps that taper to 20mm at the stainless-steel pin buckle.
Panerai offers a choice of three dial colours, each differing slightly from the other. The blue brings a metallic sunburst finish, highlighted with stark white lume of the hands and sandwich-dialled numerals. The effect is subtle in low-light conditions, turning into a dark, ocean-abyss like hue.
Doubling down on that well-known Panerai look are the white and black dials, each with a grainy texture to boot. The white is the most minimal of all, using off-white lume that gives the dial amazing depth when observed off-angle. The black is the most traditional, with a flash of blue for the 9 o'clock small seconds hand, and is hands-down my favourite of the lot.
The Panerai P.900 is responsible for timekeeping in the Luminor Quaranta, delivering a steady 72-hour power reserve, though the closed casebacks do not offer much insight into the degree of finishing applied to the P.900 in the Quaranta. Renamed from the OP XXXIV ValFleurier ebauche-based movement, Panerai insist the P.900 is an in-house movement.
The Panerai Luminor design is one of the few in the watch industry deserving of the iconic moniker. Now accessible in a smaller size, with specifications that match the style, this may be the watch that draws in the small-wristed crowd. I thoroughly enjoyed my time with the it, and found it difficult to send back when the time came. The Panerai Luminor Quaranta is a true PAM and a great one at that, though at $10,800 AUD and with the P.900 movement, it's certainly not a value proposition.
Panerai Luminor Quaranta pricing and availability:
The Panerai Luminor Quaranta is available now from Panerai, in three dial colour choices - black, white and blue. Price: $10,800 AUD

    Good on Panerai for (finally!) addressing the size issues many of us have without drastically affecting water resistance. Nevertheless, for a dive watch company and at that price, 100 meters is still a bit of a misstep imho. Let’s hope they can eventually raise the bar to 300 meters. Thanks for the vid, really appreciate your content.

    Especially as it's not a technical marvel to do so anymore. There is one brand that proved that impressively: Nomos. It's a Club Campus on 37mm (!) with an actual automatic Inhouse movement, sapphire caseback, non-screw-down crown and an overall case thinness of under 9mm (!). And this watch has an impressive water resistance of 200m! So c'mon, I can't hear anymore all the excuses of many brands that it's hard to get slim, small or non-screw-down crown watches more water resistant than 30m. It's just a cheap excuse. That said, 100m for those 40mm PAM's is totally enough for me as you can do pretty much every water sports activity if you want to.

    Wearing the Pam 00683, picked it up 3 weeks ago, absolutely love it. I think the 40mm size and keeping 100m water resistance is a winning combo. Having a smaller 6.5 inch wrist myself I've stayed away from Panerai for many years. I really think it opens it up to a wider audience, as long as they keep making their beefy larger watches they should be seeing more sales.

That alone made me overlook the 100M (I really wish it was 200+) and the questionable “in-house” term (I’ve heard it’s ETA but modified). I wear this watch with pride while also recognizing it’s flaws.

    As a Paneristi myself, I would call this sizing a win. I have been shrinking my own size preference a little since I got into watches 7 years ago. Though for me that means going from 47mm down to 44mm. I doubt my wrists and overall height and frame would lend itself to a 40mm PAM. Though I'm glad that it opens the door for people who would not otherwise buy the larger sizes. I'm actually thinking of getting a white dial 40mm for the girlfriend. I have the 1314 in 44mm, so it would be fun to match Panerai some days.

    I had several Panerai watches in the early 2000's, but as I continued my watch journey, began to prefer smaller sizes and sold my Panerai watches. Fast forward to this year, I tried this new quaranta case, and it was perfect. I ended up purchasing the green limited quaranta model (1304), and it became my most worn watch this summer. Perfect proportions for me, more than adequate water resistance, and extremely accurate movement..a home run. Thanks for the content.

    Is the only proportional difference the thickness? In the past the 40’s never had the wafer dial. So glad that’s been rectified. Looking forward to getting a blue dial with a green alligator strap. Many years ago a guy in Hawaii was selling his blue dial 44 In titanium with a green alligator strap and I really flipped for it but it was too big. Hopefully Panerai will get around to issuing a titanium Quaranta too. I really like the duller gray case.

    A great move from Panerai. The design language easily transfers - I'd say better than with the mid-size (42-45mm!) variants. I'll hold my cash until they make a quarter arabic, no date. I hope this frees up the Due to be a 100m waterproof 36-38mm version - I'm convinced it would sell to the smaller wristed and women - cool dressy or sports appropriate. Also, surely the 40mm (and smaller) should transfer to the Radiomir? Yeah, the Luminor is the more obvious design, but I'm sure the crown bulk/design/comfort is polarising and puts a lot off.

    A Panerai with 30 meter depth rating sounded like a 90 horsepower Ferrari. This new 40 mm baby is a step in the right direction, even if 100 meters, if more than sufficient IRL, doesn’t sound impressive when many brands without diving credentials achieve the same with push-pull crowns and a set of good gaskets. As a faithful member of #whitedialcrew, quite like the ivory one, but I will not rush to buy one yet.

    I love Panerai as a brand and I like their style. But what I don’t get is why they can’t up the water resistance. Even with some of their smaller pieces when you compare them to some of their competitor brands they have similar sized and sometimes even slimmer smaller models that have much greater water resistance, eg a SuperOcean 42 which has like 500 m depth rating. For the size of a PAM they should be able to attain that or something similar!

    I placed an order on a white Quaranta (PAM01271) and I actually cancelled the order. The reason? Panerais customer service is not good. One thing that has been highly debated regarding the "Quaranta" is the caseback; is it a snap-on caseback? Is it screw down caseback? It was hard to find the right answer. The customer service gave me (and a forum member) three different answers and eventually, an independent watchmaker opened the watch and confirmed that it's in fact a snap-on caseback. One might argue that many of these watches aren't going to be exposed to deep diving, which probably is true. However, a snap-on caseback is a cheaper alternative and it's fitted there for one reason: cost saving. Cost saving is of course necessary; what I do not like is the lack of transparency. Stand behind your choices a present the facts and don't let your customers fumble in the dark.

    A missed opportunity to not have 20mm lugs for this smaller case

    I own this watch and the 22m help it keep the larger watch mystique of a panerai.

    I could love this watch if it weren't for the Reg. T.M. written on the guard. That bothers me to no end.

    They are going in wrong direction again. Bring back old schools 44mm-47mm vibe with 300m WR!

    Fun you buy a 300m watch with a nice leather strap … figures that you will go deep with it … My DUE is sweet and does serve the purpose of a nice watch i can wear with a suit or jeans … I will not take a shower or swing in the sea with it 😊

    That 40mm hamburger is a good face but as you said, too thick and I don't like the sausage dials. This , now this 40mm is pure class and testosterone.

    These would have looked better without the old fashioned date window. They should have stuck closer with the true Panerai DNA which is no date. At 40mm and still relatively thick, there is also no excuse (other than cost cutting) for not providing at least 20 bar of water resistance. Sadly, this watch is a fail.

    Due to the 1950 case, the curve underneath make it more wearable than the measurement suggests.

    They've botched it again. The issue with the 048 and 244 is thickness, not size. The issue with the due was water resistance, not size. They hit this out of the park YEARS ago with the 512 and 574 line and somehow have totally failed to capitalize on those truly great pieces.

    The quality has degraded so much for Panerai. They cheapened the P9010. No more hacking and no more finishing. Horrible quality control and service

    I used to be a fan of Panerai and almost pulled the trigger on this one. Then I read an article on Perezcope about Panerai perpetually downgrading. I am no longer a fan now.

    I own this watch and love the look, but I agree the brand is heading downwards. Probably won’t buy another one unless it’s a used older one with the better WR

    These watches have a driven, pressure-fit caseback that looks like a screwed back (to fool people?). This should be addressed in a review. In addition, the P.900 is a heavily downgraded Baume & Mercier “Baumatic” without hacking seconds and zero decoration. Your “softball” review is no service to the watch community, unfortunately.
