Panerai Luminor Due Strap for 42mm 22/18 “ChongQing”

Description

About the Strap:  I created this metallic color-shifting Panerai DUE strap 100% by hand and hand-stitched it, as with all of my straps. For this project, I selected a chrome tanned leather in a metallic copper finish.  The surface of this leather is resistant to water and stains.  This strap will display tones of gold/bronze/copper depending on the lighting.  For the stitching, I selected a beige thread that nicely matches the tone of the leather.  I completed the stitching in a boxed pattern with tight spacing. Furthermore, I designed this strap with a 22-18mm taper and two keepers, one fixed and one floating.  The edges feature a fine crease.

*Important note regarding the buckle:  The aftermarket Panerai DUE strap in the photos above is using an OEM polished Panerai thumbnail buckle.  This is the same buckle that many DUE owners receive from the boutique with their watches.  This buckle is not currently for sale or included, so you will need to use your OEM buckle with this strap (easy install). Additionally, you may select the option that says “Brushed Trapezoidal Buckle” from the drop down menu to select the only other option currently available in 18mm size (send an email for pictures of this buckle).

This unique aftermarket Panerai DUE strap is featured above on the ivory dialed PAM00906.  The strap in the photos above is an OEM style small 95/60 size.  Finally, as usual, I can make this strap in any size that you prefer.

Measurements:  This strap is 22/22, with a thickness of ~4mm.

What We Include:  Watch strap (top, bottom), *optional buckle, one wooden gift box.

Additional Information:

The 38mm, 42mm and 45mm Luminor Due series are the latest entries in the Panerai catalog. As with all Panerai cases, I take into consideration many elements of the watch before making a custom strap for it. With regard to the Due models, you will notice that my website features only straps for the 42mm models which have a 22mm lug width. I can happily make straps for your 38mm or 45mm Luminor Due model as well.

If you have a 45mm Luminor Due model, please check the 24mm strap section. When I make straps for the Luminor Due series, I take into consideration the much thinner case, and utilize leather of a lower thickness. This thinner leather sometimes allows for straps of a more rigid temper.

A variety of buckles may also be used on the 22mm straps, so you may see more than one buckle option on the drop down menus for various Panerai Luminor Due straps. Another unique feature that many of my custom Panerai Luminor Due straps utilize is quick release spring bars. Quick release bars work especially well on straps of a more firm temper. Quick release spring bars allow you to change straps with no tools and thus no chance of scratching the case. The slim and modern Due case lends itself to a wide variety of leathers that thicker cased Panerai models cannot pull off.

Please don’t hesitate to contact me if you have questions about any of my custom Panerai laminar Due aftermarket straps. I pride myself in each aftermarket Panerai strap that I produce. I complete the entire process by hand without templates or machines of any sort. Additionally, I use traditional tools, the same tools that I used as a boot maker for nearly two decades. Finally, as a result of the hand made nature of these straps, no two are identical.
