Panerai Luminor 44mm Strap 24/24 ‘Pharaoh’s Revenge’

Description

About the Leather:  I created this moss green 24mm Panerai strap 100% by hand and hand stitched it, as with all of my straps. For a departure from the norm, a unique leather with a unique texture was in order.  Consequently, I selected a two toned oil tanned leather with dark and light shades of olive.  The combination of texture and finish gives this strap the appearance of something very old and very dead come back to life.  The strap design feature one floating keeper and one fixed.  I utilized a graphite colored thread for the stitching.  This strap ships by default with a vintage style brushed stainless pin buckle, but you may select from other buckle options from the drop down menu above.

The goal of this project was to create something unique and novel.  The color combination could match with potentially any dial and indication combination.  This strap is of a medium temper.  As this is an oil tanned leather, you may notice the surface color change slightly when you flex it. You may see the strap paired nicely with a PAM00632 above.  This moss green 24mm Panerai strap is one of a kind!

Measurements:  This strap is 24/24, with a thickness of ~4.5mm.

What We Include:  Watch strap (top, bottom), sewn buckle, one wooden gift box as pictured.

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.
