Description
About the Leather:  I created this thick semi-gloss classic tan 47mm Panerai strap 100% by hand and hand stitched it, as with all of my straps. The color ranges from medium tan to dark peach on this beautiful vegetable tanned leather. While this strap is 5mm thick, it is unbelievably soft and flexible, making it very easy to wear. I selected a thick beige colored thread for the stitching to evoke the style of traditional leatherwork. The design of this strap features one floating keeper and one fixed. The edges are unfinished and minimalist.
This strap ships by default with a brushed stainless steel vintage style pin buckle. This strap matches nicely with the legendary 47mm Panerai Luminor PAM00372 as you can see above. The classic color scheme of this semi-gloss tan 47mm Panerai strap guarantees that it will match all 47mm Panerai Luminor models regardless of dial or lume color. This strap will also fit larger Radiomir models with 47mm cases. Like most vegetable tanned leathers, the surface will age and develop character over time. It is best to avoid exposing this strap to chemicals or colored liquids.
Measurements:Â This strap is 26/26, with a thickness of ~5mm.
What We Include:Â Watch strap (top, bottom), one vintage style pin buckle, one wooden gift box.

Additional Information:Â 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.
