Description
About the Leather: I created this soft galaxy grey Panerai Radiomir strap 100% by hand and hand stitched it, as with all of my straps. This is a beefy oil tanned leather with a matte top side. The characteristics of this leather are perfect for thick but comfortable straps. This grey Panerai Radiomir strap presents a color reminiscent of a magnet with the sides and distressed edges showing a lighter contrasting color. The matte non-porous surface of this leather lends to it a quality of water resistance. I utilized charcoal thread in a box stitched pattern. This strap design features one fixed and one floating keeper. The edges of the strap feature a soft crease. Furthermore, the design of this strap features a reinforcement stitch along the buckle.
This is a soft tempered leather and will wear comfortably all day long. This strap ships by default with a matte black PVD coated flat vintage style pin buckle. Pictured above, you may see this custom grey strap on the titanium Panerai Radiomir PAM00346. This is truly a unique color that you have not seen before on a PAM strap. This straps offers both comfort and versatility for it’s owner. This is the perfect strap for anyone who has a PVD coated or Ceramic Radiomir.

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 aftermarket 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 aftermarket 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 custom 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 all aftermarket Panerai straps that I produce. In addition, I complete the entire process by hand without templates or machines of any sort. Futhermore, I use the absolute basic tools, the same tools that I used as a boot maker for nearly two decades. Finally, as a result of the hand made nature of these straps, no two are identical.
