Description
About the Leather: I created this epic 24mm blue Panerai strap 100% by hand and hand stitched it, as with all of my straps. This is a thick chrome tanned leather with a semi-waxy top side. The characteristics of this leather are perfect for thick but comfortable straps on large case PAM models. This 24mm blue Panerai strap has an appearance of steel grey and navy blue depending on the lighting. The slightly waxy surface of this leather lends to it a quality of water resistance. I utilized blue thread that is one shade lighter, in an open ended stitching pattern. This strap design features one fixed and one floating keeper. The edges of the strap are slightly creased.
This strap ships by default with a vintage style brushed stainless pin buckle. View this blue handmade strap above on the contemporary Panerai Luminor Marina PAM00061. After endless time spent searching for the perfect blue leather, I’ve finally found it. This will no doubt be one of my all time favorites on the 44mm Panerai case.
Measurements: This strap is 24/24, with a thickness of ~5mm.
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.
