Description
About the Leather: This black 44mm Panerai strap is 100% hand made, and hand stitched as with all of my straps. This leather has a consistent dark chocolate brown surface that looks black in low light. The light cream inner gives the edges a cookie sandwich appearance. The design of this strap features creased edges and dark chocolate brown stitching. The strap features two keepers, one floating and one fixed. A vintage style stainless steel pin buckle is sewn into place. Additionally, this black Panerai strap is of a medium to firm rigidity and will hold it’s shape. The completely matte surface reminds one of the Bat Mobile.
You may see the strap paired nicely with a PAM00632 above. The relatively neutral color palette of this strap means that it is perfect for a wide variety of Panerai 44mm cases. In conclusion, this black 44mm Panerai strap is one of a kind!
Measurements:Â This strap is 24/24, with a thickness of ~5mm.

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. Additionally, I 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.
