Panerai Luminor 44mm Strap 24/24 Ochre SuperSoft

Description

About the Leather:  I created this super soft Panerai strap 100% by hand and hand stitched it, as with all of my straps. This is one of the softest Panerai straps that I have ever produced using brown leather.  This beautiful vegetable tanned leather comes in a light brown/medium tan color.  The incredibly soft temper makes this one of the most comfortable Panerai straps ever made.  This strap is so soft that you could almost forget you were wearing it, if it weren’t attached to a 44mm watch.  I designed this strap in a simplified manner with a single fixed keeper.  Additionally, the thread is beige, creating a nice contrast.

This strap ships by default with a brushed stainless vintage style pin buckle.  You may select other buckle options from the drop down menu as well.  This strap matches nicely with the PAM00632 as you can see above.  The neutral color palette of this super soft Panerai strap guarantees that it will match all Panerai Luminor models regardless of dial or lume color.

Measurements:  This strap is 24/24, with a thickness of ~4.5mm.

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

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.  Additionally, I 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.
