Panerai Luminor 47mm Handmade Strap 26/26 Waxed Canvas V1

Description

*Due to the unique characteristics of waxed canvas material, this rugged strap is available via consultation only.

About the Leather:  I designed this unique waxed canvas 26mm Panerai strap with a leather core and waxed canvas textile exterior. There are two versions of this strap, denoted by the tags (V1) and (V2) in the product title. The primary difference is the keeper design.  This awesome military inspired strap is both durable and water resistant thanks to it’s waxed military canvas outer layers.  The color is sandy beige and I have utilized a similar color thread for the stitching.  This waxed canvas Panerai strap features a boxed pattern stitching.  I can also make it with open ended stitching by request.  Additionally I have designed the strap with two keepers, one floating and one fixed.

This beige canvas 26mm Panerai strap ships with a vintage style brushed stainless pin buckle which is sewn in place.  View this waxed canvas 26mm Panerai strap above on the epic Panerai Luminor PAM00372.

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.
