The PAM01757 is a left-handed Destro model with the crown and crown-protecting bridge moved to the left side, designed for comfort for left-handed wearers.
The PAM01758 features a date window at 3 o'clock and an inner flange with a 24-hour scale for its GMT function, with an additional orange and beige tipped GMT hand.
Both watches feature a grained black dial with applied hour markers and hands finished with beige Super-LumiNova, including the bezel's lume pip.
The caseback on both models is engraved with the silhouette of the 'Maiale' (Silura a Lenta Corsa), a WWII-era human torpedo used by Italian Navy commandos.
The PAM01757's dial is clean with no date, while the PAM01758 includes a date window at 3 o'clock.
The bezel's 60-minute dive scale features white and steel markers, which the reviewer notes gives the bezel plenty of character.
The Destro configuration on the PAM01757, with the entire crown-protection assembly moved to the left, is noted as working remarkably well and not appearing awkward.
The PAM01758 is described as a 'caller' style GMT watch, where the 24-hour hand is adjusted independently.
