The size
Panerai writes it with two numbers: the first is the width at the lug, the second at the buckle. We do not ask you for it: the atelier's archive knows the references family by family; from the PAM code engraved on the case back one traces back to the case and the lug. The watch stays on your wrist. Below is what the archive says today.
The leather
Thick calf and greased leather, which age as the Panerai requires; large-scale alligator for the Radiomir in gold; suede for summer. Hand-stitched saddle stitch with thick thread, edges painted in several layers, calf lining. Your buckle is refitted.
The time
Four, five weeks from confirmation. In the atelier on Via XX Settembre or by video call, wherever you are. Care for the first eighteen months is included.
Four families, four lugs
The Panerai was born with the strap on: leather wide, thick, stitched to withstand sea water. For this reason, changing the strap on a Panerai is not a whim, it is the way the watch was conceived. Each family has its own lug, and the strap must be built around it.
Radiomir
Since 1936 the 47-millimetre cushion case with wire lugs welded to the case, the Ref. 3646. Today the wire lugs are removable and patented: the strap is built around the lug, with the bar passing through the wire, and the leather is hand-stitched as it was then.
Luminor and Luminor 1950
The bridge that protects the crown, since 1950. On the classic Luminor the bars are screwed to the lugs and come off with their own screwdriver; on the more recent Luminor Marina there is the PAM Click Release, release without tools. The strap is made to the size of your reference and to your buckle, which is refitted.
Luminor Due
Thinner and lighter, with slim-padded straps; on many references quick release, without tools. A finer strap, in the same leather as its larger siblings.
Submersible
The rotating bezel and the rubber in the catalogue; on some references the PAM Click. For those who wear it outside the water, a leather strap built to the lug of your reference.
The next step
The right strap is not chosen. It is built together.
