5218-201 / A
This reference, beloved by collectors, was marketed with two straps: one in shark gray-green and the second in leather, extra long, you can wear on the wetsuit.
Strap shark
The leather strap shark, gray-green color, is very nice. The seams, thin wire, can be colored or dull yellow. On the inside there are the words "Panerai" and "True Shark", with shark logo.
The buckle, large is sandblasted and slightly curved, with the inscription and logo Panerai engraved.

Leather strap
The leather strap, supplied extra, longer to be worn on the suit. is also provided with a buckle sandblasted steel curve, with logos and written Panerai. Inside the band are the words "Genuine Leather" and "Panerai" with the logo.
5218-202 / A
The "Marina Militare", with stainless pvd, was equipped with two straps (leather and shark, but there are units sold with two straps of leather both, one of which is longer) with the same characteristics that we have already examined in 201 / A. The only difference is the buckle with PVD treatment rather than blasted steel.
Pictured above and below: leather straps supplied with the reference 5218-202 / A
In the picture below the reference 202 / A with the strap in shark skin
As usual, reputation and bumps are welcome
