About the Leather:  I designed this unique military style waxed canvas Radiomir strap with a leather core and waxed canvas textile exterior. 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 Radiomir strap features a boxed pattern stitching. Additionally I have designed the strap with two keepers, one floating and one fixed.

This beige canvas Radiomir strap ships with a vintage style brushed stainless pin buckle which is sewn in place. View this awesome strap above on the Panerai Radiomir PAM00992.

Additional Information:  For each Panerai watch, I have a different design philosophy when it comes to making straps.  The Radiomir is my historical favorite among all Panerai cases.  I bought my first Radiomir nearly two decades ago and did not start making straps for them until many years later when I neared retirement.  The Radiomir is a fun and challenging case to make custom straps for. 

On larger Panerai cases in the 47mm range, I tend to use thicker thread with wider spacing. For the Radiomir I employ a mixture of both thicker and thinner threads, and both tight and wide spacing.  When determining the thread thickness and spacing I take into account the characteristics of the leather.  As a general rule, I tend to make my custom Radiomir straps in thicknesses ranging from 3.5 to 5.0mm. The average thickness will be somewhere in the middle.

Due to the wire lugs of the typical Panerai Radiomir case, I tend to lean towards leathers of a slightly softer and more pliable temper.  From a design perspective, I tend to utilize a taper of 27-22 or 26-22 depending on the leather.  If you have a larger 47mm Radiomir case, like a PAM323, I highly recommend going with straps of 4.5mm thickness or above.  I have even designed some custom Radiomir straps specifically for the 47mm Radiomir cases that have a bolstered taper where the strap meets the case.

Please do not hesitate to contact me prior to the purchase of your customer Panerai Radiomir strap.  I would be happy to guide you on your journey towards the best bespoke strap for your individual needs. I pride myself in each aftermarket Panerai strap that I produce.  The entire process is done 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.  Most importantly, as a result of the hand made nature of these straps, no two are identical.
