Panerai Luminor 47mm Leather Strap 26/26 “Whale Bone”

Description

About the Leather:  This soft white Panerai strap was entirely handcrafted and hand-stitched, like all of my straps. Made from premium chrome-tanned leather with a smooth, consistent surface and an ultra-soft temper, it offers exceptional comfort right out of the box. The exterior features a matte white finish that’s both clean and durable, perfect for warmer months. The black buckle matches the dial in this case. The buckle engraving matches the hour indications.

Designed specifically for 47mm Panerai watches with 26mm lugs, this strap has a bold, substantial profile. It’s stitched using beige thread in a classic box pattern, giving it a rugged yet refined appearance. The construction includes one fixed and one floating keeper for a secure, balanced fit.

Each strap ships standard with the brushed stainless steel vintage-style buckle shown in the photos. Pictured above on the classic PAM00372. The sample pictured is 125/80mm, but I can customize the length to your exact specifications.

This neutral white Panerai strap tone pairs well with a wide range of dial and case colors, making it a versatile addition to any collection. A perfect upgrade for summer wear, combining comfort, craftsmanship, and style.

Measurements:  This strap is 26/26, with a thickness of ~4mm.

Included:  Watch strap, one pin buckle, one wooden box with papers.

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