Description
About the Leather: This thick and substantial tan Panerai strap is 100% hand made and hand stitched, as with all of my straps. For this project, I selected an Italian vegetable tanned leather of soft and pliable temper. This leather has a deep walnut tone with a smooth surface and raw edges. This strap is of a medium-soft temper and easily conforms to the wrist after multiple wears. Due to it’s vegetable tanning, this strap has a slight shine to the surface that will only improve with time and wear. I selected a thick French origin ivory colored thread for the stitching on this strap. The individually punched and closely spaced buckle pin holes are a unique design element to this strap. In addition, the edges of this strap are not creased, lending a more classic and simple appearance to the strap.
This strap features a thickness of 4.9mm. I designed this strap with one floating keeper and one fixed. Furthermore, the classic tone of this soft tan Panerai strap make it a perfect match for basically any dial and indication color combination. Above you can see the strap pictured beside the PAM00775 Luminor Base 44mm. The white stitching goes especially well with white dials. This strap ships by default with a flat GPF style pin buckle that is sewn in place (pictured). Additionally, you may select from a variety of other buckle options using the “buckle style” drop down menu above. Due to the thickness of this strap, maintaining a sewn pin buckle is highly recommended. For your reference, the strap in the photos above measures a custom 135mm/82mm.
**As with all straps on my site, this strap is available with a “no buckle” option. 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 ~4.9mm.
What We Include: Watch strap, sewn pin 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. 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. Further, 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.
