Description

About the Leather:  I created this incredible red clay Panerai strap 100% by hand and hand-stitched it, as with all of my straps. The tone of this strap is a deep earthy red clay color.  This beautiful oil tanned leather features a smooth and slightly waxy surface.  The edges display a nice sandwich of beige and light brown creating a layered effect.  This leather has a medium level of rigidity, giving it a solid and durable feel.  I designed this strap with one floating keeper and one fixed.  Uniquely, I have added two rows of stitching to this strap, in slightly different colored thread that match both the top side and rear of this hide.  I have added a gentle crease to the edges of this strap.

This strap ships with a free brushed vintage style pin buckle as seen in the pictures.  Above, you may see this red clay Panerai strap paired with the stunning PAM00372.  Thanks to it’s darker color scheme, this strap is a great match for darker dials.  Due to it’s oil tanned nature, this strap will naturally repel water a bit better than other types of leather.  Additionally, it will develop character over time with repeated wear.

Measurements:  This strap is 26/26, with a thickness of ~5mm.

What We Include:  Watch strap (top, bottom), one vintage style pin buckle, one wooden gift box.

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 that are sewn 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. 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.
