Description
About the Leather: I created this soft aircraft carrier grey Panerai strap 100% by hand, and hand stitched it as with all of my straps. This is a chrome tanned leather with a soft temper and mild distressing on the surface. For this design, I kept the stitching tight and selected a black thread. Additionally, the design features one floating keeper, and one fixed. The edges of the strap feature a soft crease.
This strap ships by default with a flat brushed black PVD coated vintage style “razor” buckle. Additional buckle options are available from the drop down menu. The sample strap in the photos above measures 125/80 for your reference. Furthermore, I can make it in any size that you prefer. Pictured above, you may see this carrier grey Panerai strap with the Panerai Luminor PAM00775. This leather is particularly pliable which makes to very comfortable to wear. Finally, this strap pairs especially well with blue dials, tobacco dials, and brushed/titanium cases. Also, don’t forget to check out the buckle reference photo above.
**As with all straps on my site, this strap is available with a “no buckle” option that allows you to use your OEM buckle. If you wish to use your OEM buckle, please select “No Buckle” from the buckle drop down menu.
Measurements: This strap is 24/24, with a thickness of ~3.3mm.
What We Include: Watch strap (top, bottom), sewn 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. 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 and 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.
