47mm “Perfectly Acceptable OEM Style Burgundy Strap”

Description

About the Leather:  Meticulously crafted from start to finish, this strap features semi-gloss burgundy chrome-tanned leather with a medium temper. With time, this strap will conform to your wrist and soften. Its 3.4mm profile makes this OEM thickness Panerai strap an ideal blend of durability and flexibility.

Key features include one sewn keeper, one floating keeper, and a refined edge crease for a polished look. The strap is hand-stitched in a boxed pattern with beige-colored thread, complemented by reinforced stitching at the buckle for enhanced durability. Designed to replicate the classic OEM thickness Panerai strap, the tip ends near the buckle for added strength at the lugs. Designed to fit a 26mm OEM style screw-in trapezoidal buckle, with various buckle options available in the drop-down menu. The default is set to “No Buckle”, so please review carefully when ordering.

Pictured on the iconic PAM00372 Luminor 47mm, the strap in the sample photos measures 125/80mm, offering a flawless fit. The buckle in the photo is the “Trapezoidal Polished Screw Buckle”. Additional thread colors are available upon request, allowing you to tailor your strap to match your unique style.

Additional Information:  For each Panerai model, I have a different design philosophy regarding straps. For the 47mm Luminor series case, as well as the Radiomir 1940 and the Submersible, my concept revolves around thickness and symmetry. When I create unique straps for the 47mm series cases, I take into account the overall thickness.

The 47mm Panerai case ships with a 26mm width strap. There is no escaping the mass of such a case and strap combination. My designs for this case take into account several features of the 47mm cases including the arches, curves, angles, and degrees of slope of not just the case, but the buckle as well. Instead of step-in away from or trying to minimize the bulk of the case, my goal is to embrace it.

Additionally, I like the make the strap keepers nice and wide. I box stitch most 47mm Panerai straps for extra strength. On rare occasions, I may employ open ended stitching. 47mm Panerai custom straps tend to be 5.0mm thick or greater. I usually utilize vintage style stainless pin buckles that are sewn in place. These pin buckles work especially well for straps that are thicker. Vintage style Panerai pin buckles also allow for more narrow holes for the buckle. Whats more, for these 26mm wide straps I mostly employ thicker thread with a larger margin in the stitching. I adjust spacing between stitches to be slightly wider than on my 44mm or Radiomir straps.

I perform the entire process by hand without templates or machines and 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.
