SIZING

How do I measure my watch to know the correct watch strap width I need?

In order to know what size watch strap that you need, you will need to grab a "mm" ruler and measure in between the "lug ends" of your watch. You do not want to generally measure your old watch strap as it can be either the wrong size for your watch or it may have shrunk over the years of hard use and abuse. Here is an example of what you need to measure:

What is the correct size watch strap for my wrist?

In order to calculate the correct length for your watch strap you will need to know your wrist size. To get this you can wrap a flexible tape measure or anything flexible enough around your wrist and where the material meets around your wrist you can place that section on a ruler to get the accurate wrist size.

What is the proper watch strap width for my Panerai watch?

The general rule of thumb with Panerai watches is simple. If you own a 40mm case Panerai then you need a 22mm wide watch strap, for a 44mm case you would need a 24mm wide watch and for a 47mm case you would need a 26mm wide watch strap. Please refer to the charts below to find the correct lug width for your Panerai watch:

While the strap has historical ties to Panerai, where it first gained popularity for its durability and distinctive look, it is not limited to just one brand or type of watch. The "74" strap is crafted from premium vintage French ammo pouch leather dating back to the 1960s, offering a robust feel and a unique aesthetic that complements everything from divers to dress watches.

Its thick, sturdy construction provides a comfortable fit and a sense of reliability, ideal for those who appreciate both functionality and style in their watch accessories. Over time, the leather develops a rich patina, adding a layer of personalization and character that enhances any timepiece it's paired with. Whether you own a Panerai or any other brand, the "74" watch strap is a great choice to add a touch of classic charm and durability to your watch collection.

Every nuanced detail, hole, crease mark, scratch or stitching line is purposefully presented, as each watch strap is truly a one of a kind limited edition masterpiece. We hand stitch every strap using the strongest 4 ply waxed linen thread for added durability, use precise finishing techniques and give meticulous attention to detail so each strap is built to last using only the finest materials available.

Enhance your watch with this luxurious handmade vintage leather watch strap, it will give years of all-day comfort and style. Production time is generally 5-10 business days.

Customizing Your Watch Band | How to Order

COLOR

74 vintage leather watch strap color chart

The color of the leather is very important. Selecting a lighter color will allow the strap to age much more and gain a darker patina over time with wear and use. The darker colors already have patina and aging on them but are rarer for us to source.

WIDTH

Knowing and selecting the correct width is critical to the custom watch strap ordering process. If this detail is unknown then we generally perform a web search when trying to find a specific watch's lug width. For example when searching for an Omega Speedmaster Pro's lug width we would search for "Omega Speedmaster Lug Width", which can be a great starting point. You can add the specific model # to the search as well which can be even more accurate.

LENGTH

The average OEM strap length is somewhere around 115mm/75mm. The 115mm is the length of the longer strap with the holes on it and the 75mm is the shorter strap with the buckle attached. Depending on your wrist size you can go up or down from this starting point. If your wrist is 6" (150mm) then you can go shorter, if your wrist is 8" (200mm) or greater than you might want to increase those #s.

VENETIAN CREAM

This is our go to leather conditioner in the shop and we have been offering this product since our inception. It is still made in Chicago and they still use glass bottles with a metal cap and make one of the finest leather conditioners out there. If you have not tried it or simply do not have a leather conditioner we highly recommend adding a bottle to your collection as vintage straps do get thirsty and need conditioning from time to time.

Details

This is where you can write and add any notes that are pertinent to the order that we need to know. We generally say the more details the better.
