Description
About the Leather: “Nice Spec!” is the first thing my fellow Paneristi said when I showed them this strap. I created this rich burgundy Panerai Radiomir strap 100% by hand and hand stitched it, as with all of my straps. This is a semi-milled oil tanned leather with contrasting edges. Being oil tanned with a slightly waxy finish, this strap is durable and can withstand exposure to water. This deep burgundy Panerai Radiomir strap is light weight and conforms easily to the wrist. The color is a throwback to rugged Panerai straps of the past. The inner is a lighter tone than the surface, allowing for contrasting edges. I utilized beige thread in a box stitched pattern. Additionally, this strap design features a single thick fixed keeper. If you would like the typical two keeper design, it is also possible. The edges of the strap are unfinished.
This strap ships by default with a vintage style brushed stainless pin buckle. Pictured above, you may see this 26mm handmade strap on the titanium Panerai Radiomir PAM00346. This strap will age nicely as you wear it and will no doubt become an staple part of your strap collection. A must have for those looking for a nice dark Radiomir strap in an oxblood or burgundy tone.
Measurements: Width 26mm at the case and 22mm at the buckle area. Thickness ~5mm.

Additional Information: For each Panerai watch, I have a different design philosophy when it comes to making straps. The Radiomir is my historical favorite among all Panerai cases. I bought my first Radiomir nearly two decades ago and did not start making straps for them until many years later when I neared retirement. The Radiomir is a fun and challenging case to make custom straps for.
On larger Panerai cases in the 47mm range, I tend to use thicker thread with wider spacing. For the Radiomir I employ a mixture of both thicker and thinner threads, and both tight and wide spacing. When determining the thread thickness and spacing I take into account the characteristics of the leather. As a general rule, I tend to make my custom Radiomir straps in thicknesses ranging from 3.5 to 5.0mm. The average thickness will be somewhere in the middle.
Due to the wire lugs of the typical Panerai Radiomir case, I tend to lean towards leathers of a slightly softer and more pliable temper. From a design perspective, I tend to utilize a taper of 27-22 or 26-22 depending on the leather. If you have a larger 47mm Radiomir case, like a PAM323, I highly recommend going with straps of 4.5mm thickness or above. I have even designed some custom Radiomir straps specifically for the 47mm Radiomir cases that have a bolstered taper where the strap meets the case.
Please do not hesitate to contact me prior to the purchase of your customer Panerai Radiomir strap. I would be happy to guide you on your journey towards the best bespoke strap for your individual needs. I pride myself in each aftermarket Panerai strap that I produce. The entire process is done by hand without templates or machines of any sort. I use the absolute basic tools, the same tools that I used as a boot maker for nearly two decades. As a result of the hand made nature of these straps, no two are identical.
