Calf Straps

Calf leather is one of the most exclusive and versatile of all materials used in the watch industry. Officine Panerai’s wide offers ranges from sportive calfskin – with uncompromising technical features and an exceptional surface eveness - to traditional natural leathers with deliberately unaltered surface that underline their originality.

 

The leathers used by Officine Panerai have natural surface structures that are accentuated by additional processing, refining and finishing done by hand by expert artisans.

 

Given the individuality of these materials, each has its own specific colour shade and surface quality so that each piece is one of a kind, a treasured and coveted unique item.

 

During the production, the leathers can be treated in three different ways: tanning, dyeing and finishing. The processes are aimed at providing resistance against external influences and at giving to the leather the final aesthetic appearance.

 

Leather straps usually have a “remborde” padding which is the inside of the strap that gives the threedimensional shape. 

 

Natural leather straps, such as the Assolutamente and the Ponte Vecchio are characterized - depending on the models - by the so-called “Vintage padding”, inspired by the original models from the past. 

 

The strap is formed by a single layer of leather, which is folded down on itself and sewn by hands.

 

The Officine Panerai calf leather straps are offered in a wide choice of finishing and colours, making themsuitable for all the occasions.
