Panerai Radiomir Strap 27/22 Brown “98% Cacao” OEM Buckle

Description

About the Leather:  This eminently wearable Brown Panerai strap is 100% handcrafted from start to finish. For this project, I selected a semi-gloss brown chrome tanned leather with a soft temper. This dark brown Radiomir strap easily conforms to the wrist thanks to the soft temper and 3.5mm thickness. The design of this custom Radiomir strap includes one sewn keeper and one floating. I designed this strap to integrate with your OEM trapezoidal buckle. The strap features a crease along the edges. The taper is 27mm to 22mm at the buckle. I’ve hand-stitched this strap in a boxed pattern using cream colored thread. Furthermore, I have added an additional line of stitching to reinforce the buckle.

I designed this strap in an OEM style, with the tip of the fold terminating near the buckle for added strength near the lugs. Additional stitching colors available by request. As seen in the photos, this strap is especially suited to brown or tobacco dial Panerai models, but can easily be worn with other case and dial combinations as well. You may select “No Buckle” from the drop down menu if you wish to use your own OEM buckle. Additionally, several options for alternate buckles are available from the same drop down menu. This unique custom Radiomir strap can be seen above on the PAM00346 Radiomir 8 Days Titanium. The strap in the sample photos measures 125/80mm for your reference. **The strap is pictured with a prototype buckle that is not currently available for purchase.

Measurements:  This strap is 27/22, with a thickness of ~3.5mm.

Included:  Watch strap, optional buckle, one wooden gift box.

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.
