Panerai Luminor 44mm Strap 24/24 “Mustard Tan” Minimal

Description

About the Leather:  I created this thick mustard tan Panerai strap 100% by hand and hand stitched it as with all of my straps. This is a semi-waxy latigo leather with a medium temper and a consistent finish. The color immediately evokes memories of the classic light tan that feels so at home on the venerable Panerai models of yesteryear.  The strap features a soft crease along the edges.

I utilized thick beige thread in an open ended stitch pattern.  This strap design features one fixed and one floating keeper.  Additionally, this strap ships by default with a vintage style brushed stainless steel pin buckle.  The sample strap in the photos above measures 125/80 for perspective. As usual, I can make it in any size that you prefer.  Pictured above, you may see this durable classic mustard tan Panerai strap on the limited edition Panerai Luminor PAM000608. Being of medium temper, this strap will conform to your wrist after a period of wear.  This strap looks especially good on classic PAMs, but will complement dials and cases of all shapes and colors.

Measurements:  This strap is 24/24, with a thickness of ~5mm.

What We Include:  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. I use 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.  Additionally, 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.
