Panerai Leather Strap Luminor 24/24 “Iron Oxide” Aged (Sewn)

Description

About the Leather:  I created this rust brown Panerai strap 100% by hand, and hand stitched it as with all of my straps. A water repellent oil tanned leather with a rust aesthetic, this strap makes a unique accessory for your 44mm Panerai. The matte finish shifts in color from light to dark rust. The inner features layers of lighter and darker brown giving us a nice contrast along the edges. The thread is light beige. This strap design features one floating keeper and one fixed. A vintage style stainless steel pin buckle is sewn into place.  In addition, the pin buckle has been aged using an electro-chemical process, and is smooth to the touch and rust-proof.

This strap is of a medium rigidity. It’s unique color and oil tanned finish will result in wear and distress over time that will lend character to the strap. This strap is at it’s most impressive under natural sun light where all of the colors will fully reveal themselves at different angles. Finally, you may see the strap paired nicely with a PAM00632 above.

Measurements:  This strap is 24/24, with a thickness of ~5mm.

What is Included:  Watch strap (top, bottom), aged 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.
