Panerai Radiomir Strap 27/22 “Stone Mason Grey” Bolstered

Description

About the Leather: This handcrafted Radiomir strap in an ash gray hue is meticulously constructed, featuring a concrete-finished chrome-tanned leather carefully chosen for its unique texture akin to stone. The natural sand-rock gray tone is subtle and yet distinctive in a world of black or brown straps. Complemented by ivory toned stitching, it offers a pleasing contrast, while its soft temper ensures comfortable wear on the wrist. This strap features a soft crease along the edges. This design features stitching reinforcement along the buckle area.

This strap tapers in thickness from 4.9mm thick at the lugs to 3.4mm thick at the tip. Designed with one floating keeper and one fixed, this strap allows for versatility in buckle styles, selectable from the menu above. The edges of this strap are hand burnished. While showcased on the PAM00346, this handcrafted Radiomir strap harmonizes beautifully with Radiomir models of all case types. Its neutral stitching and primary colors make it a versatile companion for PAM dials across a spectrum of color combinations. This strap is shown above with a brushed stainless steel pin buckle, but you may select other options from the drop down menu.

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, I 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.
