Description
About the Leather: As with all of the straps that I create, this thick 44mm Panerai strap is completely handmade. For this project, I sought a thick but resilient chrome tanned leather in medium brown. The goal was attaining as much bulk as possible within reasonable means, while at the same time maintaining an ultra soft temper. This leather has a nice consistent finish on top that is resistant to oils and liquids. This strap features a soft crease along the edges. The design features one floating keeper and one fixed. I selected graphite brown thread for this strap. This thick 44mm Panerai strap is 100% hand stitched in a boxed pattern.
This strap would look brilliant with ivory colored stitching as well. Feel free to request alternate stitching colors at no additional fee. This thick 44mm Panerai strap is pictured here on the PAM00775 with a classic curved stainless pin buckle sewn in place. Additional buckle options are available from the drop down menu. This classic color combo suits most dial and case color combinations. If you wish to use your OEM buckle, you may select the “no buckle” option from the buckle drop down menu. Additionally, as this 44mm strap is quite thick, you may want to order one size larger than you normally get. For example, if normally wear 125/75 straps, you may want to select 130/80 for this one.
Measurements: This strap is 24/24, with a thickness of ~5mm.
What We Include: Watch strap, sewn curved pin 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. 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. Further, 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.
