Description
About the Leather:Â Â I created this military themed green canvas Panerai strap 100% by hand and hand stitched it as with all of my straps. This strap features a leather core wrapped in green canvas textile. The temper of this strap is medium, but with wear it will gradually take the form of your wrist and become more pliable. Updates include the new tip, larger stitching margins, and detailed hand-stitched keepers which are now thicker and more durable.
I utilized thick beige thread in a box stitched pattern. This strap design features one fixed and one floating keeper. This strap ships by default with a vintage style brushed stainless pin buckle. The strap in the photos above measures a standard 125/80. This particular strap works best in longer sizes regardless of your wrist size. Pictured above, you may see this one of a kind green canvas Panerai strap on the Panerai Luminor PAM00632. This rugged strap will develop character over time, especially along the edges and buckle holes. The color tones allow this strap to match any dial color.
Measurements:Â This strap is 24/24, with a thickness of ~5mm.
What We Include:Â Watch strap (top, bottom), sewn buckle, one wooden gift box.

Additional Information: The 44mm Panerai Luminor is the true workhorse of the Panerai lineup, and by far has the most potential for aftermarket strap creation. While larger 47mm case models demand thicker straps, the 44mm Luminor case is more flexible and works with a variety of different strap thicknesses. With that in mind, I make most of my 44mm case Panerai straps with thinner thread. When I select the thread and spacing, I take into consideration the thickness and temper of the leather.
Most of my 24mm custom straps for 44mm Panerai models utilize a vintage Panerai style pin buckle. However, you will find that many straps in this section also have additional buckle options in the drop down menus above. My general design philosophy for 24mm straps is dual keepers of generous width, box stitching, and a thickness or 3.5 to 5.5mm depending on leather temper.
Finally, all of my 24mm Panerai straps for 44mm cases are 24/24mm, without a taper. The only tapered straps that I make are for Radiomir cases. My design preferences for the 44mm Panerai case tend towards longer buckle sides and shorter bottom sides. Above all, the aim is to achieve as much balance as possible. Additionally, the stitching margins will be thinner on my 24mm Panerai straps than they are on my 47mm Panerai straps.
I pride myself in each aftermarket Panerai strap that I produce and perform the entire process 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. In conclusion, as a result of the handmade nature of these straps, no two are identical.

Exquisite strap, firm at first, but broken in after a few weeks and now very much mine. Thank you again!
