Description
About the Leather: I created this incredibly soft, incredibly pliable burgundy Panerai strap 100% by hand and hand stitched it as with all of my straps. For this 44mm strap, I searched high and low for a soft vegetable tanned leather in the perfect burgundy tone. This leather has a uniform color and pebbled top surface. The leather has an almost gummy quality to it, meaning it will conform nicely to the wrist. The result is a strap that is extremely comfortable to wear. This particular design features tight stitching and a slight crease long the edges. This strap also features two floating keepers.
This strap ships by default with a flat GPF style stainless steel pin buckle with a brushed finish (pictured). Additional buckle options are available from the drop-down menu. For this project, I selected a medium brown thread that blends well with the color of the strap. The leather and thread color combo affords the wearer a great deal of versatility when matching the strap with various case and dial combos. As per usual, nearly any aspect of this strap may be customized to your specifications by request. Pictured above, you may see this burgundy Panerai strap on the Panerai Luminor Marina PAM00632. For reference, the strap in the photos measures 140-80.
Measurements: This strap is 24/24, with a thickness of ~3.5mm.
What We Include: Watch strap (top, bottom), sewn flat buckle, one wooden gift box.

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. Furthermore, the only tapered straps that I make are usually 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 and perform the entire process by hand without templates or machines of any sort. Additionally, 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.
