Panerai Luminor 47mm Leather Strap 26/26 “Serious Black”

Description

About the Leather:  I created this black 47mm Panerai strap 100% by hand, and hand stitched it as with all of my straps. This is a thick vegetable tanned leather with a soft temper and a semi-gloss finish. This leather has fat lines and grain creases throughout, so no two straps will be exactly identical.  For this strap, I have used black stitching in a boxed pattern.  Additionally, the strap features a soft crease along the edges.  This strap ships by default with a sewn in stainless vintage style buckle. The sample strap in the photos above measures 125/80 for reference.  As usual, I can make it in any size that you prefer.

Pictured above, you may see this black 47mm Panerai strap on the iconic Panerai Luminor PAM00372. This is a durable leather that will conform to your wrist after minimal wear and will last for decades.  The ultimate strap for Paneristi who want a black strap, but thicker than OEM and with more character!

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

What We Include:  Watch strap (top, bottom), brushed steel 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.

I perform the entire process by hand without templates or machines and 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.
