6- OEM & AFTERMARKET STRAPS FOR PANERAI WATCHES

As commented at the beginning of this Thread, you can change completely the look of your Panerai just changing the strap. Almost all Panerai models accept every type of strap and you can adapt the style of your watch to your taste or to all situations and environments.
There is a huge range and a lot of Strap types for Panerai watches in the market.
Panerai Watches are especially prepared for an easy change of the strap. You can literally change the watch in few minutes. See Section 6.2- HOW TO CHANGE THE STRAP IN A PANERAI WATCH

6.1- WRIST PERIMETER AND STRAP DIMENSIONS

In below Table you can find the standard strap dimensions according to your wrist perimeter. This is for a case of watch about 44mm of diameter, strap about 3mm thickness or less, medium remaining tail in the long side of the strap and regular pressing strap.

Please bear in mind, according your requirements, the changes as follows:

- Strap thickness more 3-3,5 mm you will have to increase a step the strap length.
- Strap very thick (5 mm or thicker) you will have to increase two steps the length.
- If you like a long remaining tail, increase 5-10mm the length of the long side.
- If you like looser strap increase a step the length.
- Using watches of more than 44mm of diameter you will have reducing a step the length.

You can find the answer in the PAM GUIDE: See LUG dimemsion in the yellow frame of the DATA Table of the PAM 029

[beastly]

Thanks for this. Looking to get my first rep, which is likely to be a 111N. I hadn't thought much about the strap before, but now I think I'll buy a quality strap and throw away the one that comes with the watch.

 

[burg650]

Useful information, thanks

 

[Aldo69]

WOW

Ryan is sending me a PAM111N tomorrow with a calf strap, but am loving the aged look. May have to have one (hopefully) waiting on its arrival.:stb:

 

[Ruski91]

Gentlemen, quick question. I know that rads have 26 (more like 27mm) lug sizes and that most of the straps for rads are 26mm.

For the rad deployant however, is it supposed to taper down to 20 or 22.

Also, after looking at several of the suggested watch makers, i couldn't find many (if any at all) that offer rad deployant straps. Any suggestions?

If i missed a previous post on this subject - please direct me to it. Thanks everyone!

 

[raulvmax]

Hello , for radiomir claps deployant it s 20 to the deployant buckle, and personaly i prefer 26 on the lugs.
It s true not so many people are doing after market strap for the rad claps, but isnt really difficult to find .
I m must received next week 2 new straps in ostrich leg and i will post them
regards

 

[Mikmihai]

What about selfdeployant butterfly opening ?
Thx

 

[Mora]

So great!!

THANK YOU!!

Please tell me where and how to buy one of these straps. I saw this a few months ago but have no idea who makes and/or sells this strap (or something similar)

Thanks!

I make 27/20mm rad straps for 288k mainly and obviously 26/22 and 27/2mm. Any strapmaker could make any kind of strap under ordering...
