Panerai Radiomir Leather Strap 26/22 Glossy Peach

Description

About the Leather: This glossy peach Radiomir strap is 100% hand made and hand stitched, as with all of my straps. For this project, I selected a vegetable tanned leather with a glossy peach luxurious finish.  This gorgeous and unique strap features beige color stitching within the same color group as the leather itself. You can wear this strap on nearly any Radiomir regardless of the dial or indication color.  I invested a great deal of effort in finding just the right leather in just the right thickness and temper to produce this strap.  I decided to make the strap as simple as possible so that the eye is drawn to the unique color and finish of the leather.

This strap is of a soft temper and easily conforms to the wrist.  The overall aesthetic lends a great deal of sophistication to the Radiomir, especially those with beige indications like the PAM00992.  This particular strap design features a single floating keeper, keeping with an overall minimalist theme.  The glossy peach Radiomir strap looks even better in person.

Measurements:  Width 26mm at the case and 22mm at the buckle area. Thickness ~2.5mm.

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

Additional Information:  For each Panerai watch, I have a different design philosophy when it comes to making straps.  The Radiomir is my historical favorite among all Panerai cases.  I bought my first Radiomir nearly two decades ago and did not start making straps for them until many years later when I neared retirement.  The Radiomir is a fun and challenging case to make custom straps for. 

On larger Panerai cases in the 47mm range, I tend to use thicker thread with wider spacing. For the Radiomir I employ a mixture of both thicker and thinner threads, and both tight and wide spacing.  When determining the thread thickness and spacing I take into account the characteristics of the leather.  As a general rule, I tend to make my custom Radiomir straps in thicknesses ranging from 3.5 to 5.0mm. The average thickness will be somewhere in the middle.

Due to the wire lugs of the typical Panerai Radiomir case, I tend to lean towards leathers of a slightly softer and more pliable temper.  From a design perspective, I tend to utilize a taper of 27-22 or 26-22 depending on the leather.  If you have a larger 47mm Radiomir case, like a PAM323, I highly recommend going with straps of 4.5mm thickness or above.  I have even designed some custom Radiomir straps specifically for the 47mm Radiomir cases that have a bolstered taper where the strap meets the case.

Please do not hesitate to contact me prior to the purchase of your customer Panerai Radiomir strap.  I would be happy to guide you on your journey towards the best bespoke strap for your individual needs. I pride myself in each aftermarket Panerai strap that I produce.  The entire process is done 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.  As a result of the hand made nature of these straps, no two are identical.
