Panerai Radiomir Leather Strap 26/22 Brown Sugar (Sewn)

Description

About the Leather: I created this amazing medium brown Radiomir strap 100% by hand and hand stitched it, as with all of my straps. This strap is a masterpiece.  It should have shipped from the factory with every 45mm Radiomir. This strap features the ever elusive combination of perfect finish, perfect texture, perfect temper and perfect thickness.  The upper is old copper in color with a smooth feel.  The inner is a slightly lighter mocha color that provides just enough contrast.  I selected a color matched medium brown thread for the stitching.  In addition, the design of this strap features one floating keeper and one fixed.  This medium brown Radiomir strap ships by default with a stainless vintage style pin buckle.

This strap is of a soft temper.  It will conform to your wrist, and wear comfortably all day long. Finally, you may see this medium brown Panerai strap paired nicely with a PAM00992 Radiomir 8 Days above.

Measurements:  Width 26mm at the case and 22mm at the buckle area. Thickness ~4mm.

What We Include:  Panerai Radiomir leather strap (top, bottom), vintage style buckle, one wooden gift box as pictured.

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.  Finally, 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.  As a result of the hand made nature of these straps, no two are identical.
