Description
About the Leather: A burgundy 100% handcrafted Panerai strap meticulously designed to elevate your timepiece to new heights of elegance and sophistication. I created this uniquely textured Panerai strap 100% by hand, and hand stitched it as with all of my custom aftermarket Panerai straps. For this project, I selected the finest oil tanned leather, renowned for its supple texture, exceptional durability, and captivating beauty. The deep burgundy hue exudes a sense of refined luxury, making it a perfect complement to your Panerai watch. This leather is thick and yet soft. With its 26/26 width, the rugged fit will enhance the overall aesthetic of your Panerai timepiece. The carefully crafted boxed stitching in beige adds an elegant touch, emphasizing the attention to detail put into every aspect of this strap’s creation.
Designed to provide optimal comfort, this Panerai strap molds to your wrist over time, ensuring a personalized and snug fit. The surface and back side are contrasting in color, giving the strap a “sandwich” effect. The edges of this strap are left in their natural condition without a crease. Additionally, this strap features one floating keeper and one fixed. This burgundy Panerai strap ships with a brushed vintage style pin buckle with no engravings. Pictured above, you may see this unique handcrafted Panerai strap on the Panerai PAM00372. Furthermore, thanks to the classic color, you have a great deal of flexibility with matching cases and dials. Finally, the strap in the photos above measures 125/80 for your reference. *Buckles may also be customized with engravings on a consultation basis.

Additional Information: For each Panerai model, I have a different design philosophy regarding straps. For the 47mm Luminor series case, as well as the Radiomir 1940 and the Submersible, my concept revolves around thickness and symmetry. When I create unique straps for the 47mm series cases, I take into account the overall thickness and temper of the leather that I am working with; more so than with Radiomir or even 44mm Luminor cases.
The 47mm Panerai case ships with a 26mm width strap. There is no escaping the mass of such a case and strap combination. My designs for this case take into account several features of the 47mm cases including the arches, curves, angles, and degrees of slope of not just the case, but the buckle as well. Instead of step-in away from or trying to minimize the bulk of the case, my goal is to embrace it. To reflect this, I work with thick leathers and make the straps for this model a minimum of 5.0mm thick on average.
Additionally, I like the make the strap keepers nice and wide. I box stitch most 47mm Panerai straps for extra strength. On rare occasions, I may employ open ended stitching. 47mm Panerai custom straps tend to be 5.0mm thick or greater. I usually utilize vintage style stainless pin buckles and sew them in place. These pin buckles work especially well for straps that are thicker. Vintage style Panerai pin buckles also allow for more narrow holes for the buckle. Whats more, for these 26mm wide straps I mostly employ thicker thread with a larger margin in the stitching. I adjust spacing between stitches to be slightly wider than on my 44mm or Radiomir straps.
The entire process is performed 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. As a result of the hand made nature of these straps, no two are identical.
