Description
About the Leather: As with all of my meticulously made handcrafted Panerai straps, much consideration was put into selecting a leather for this project. I selected a chrome tanned leather with tons of character for this unique Radiomir strap. This handmade Radiomir strap features a thickness of ~3mm. Furthermore, this strap has a soft temper that easily and comfortably conforms to the risk. This strap resembles the popular “Sage Super Wax” strap that is now discontinued. However, unlike that strap, this one is not waxed and will not fade. The design of this Radiomir strap features two keepers, one floating and one fixed.
The strap comes with a brushed stainless steel vintage-style pin buckle sewn in place. Alternatively, you can select a polished buckle option or flat GPF style buckle from the drop-down menu. The strap shown in the photos measures 125/80, but additional sizes are available in the drop-down menu. Each strap is carefully punched by hand to create the pin buckle holes. Finally, the images display this soft Panerai Radiomir strap paired with the Panerai Radiomir PAM00346 8 Days, showcasing its impeccable fit and comfort on the wrist thanks to the ultra-soft leather.
Measurements:Â Width 27mm at the case and 22mm at the buckle area. Thickness ~3mm.
What We Include:Â Watch strap (top, bottom), brushed vintage style pin buckle, one wooden gift box.

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.Â
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 aftermarket 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 aftermarket 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 custom 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 all aftermarket Panerai straps that I produce. In addition, I complete the entire process by hand without templates or machines of any sort. Futhermore, I use the absolute basic 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.
