Natural Buttero Chunky Strap

Buttero leather from Conceria Walpier is the king of patina. The leather tells your story - it picks up whatever marks or scratches, but those quickly fade and merge into the leather. With enough time and wear, this leather will develop a beautiful sheen and also darken in shade, with each faded mark reminding you of a time in your life.

Note: Chunky Straps do not come with spring bars. This is to allow Panerai screw-in bars to be used on these straps. If you wish for us to install regular quick release spring bars (to be used on other watches), do leave a note at check-out.

BUTTERO LEATHER FROM WALPIER TANNERY IN ITALY

Buttero leather, the king of patina, picks up marks and scratches which quickly blend gracefully into the subsurface. It is produced with an aniline finish which shows off the hide's natural surface as opposed to a smooth pigmented topcoat. With time and wear, your strap will develop a natural sheen and deeper hues.

 

 

SADDLE STITCHED BY HAND WITH LINEN THREAD

Every strap is saddle stitched by hand by our leather artisans. Unlike lock stitch created by machines, a saddle stitch is more durable as it is made of two independent stitches that forms a knot at every stitch. Linen thread in 0.35mm thickness was selected for a fine and natural weave.

 

 

SEALED EDGES FOR LONG-TERM DURABILITY

Our edges are finished with multiple layers of edge paint to seal the raw edges. The edges are sanded and edge paint is applied. After the first layer of edge paint has dried, another round of sanding and another layer of edge paint is applied. This process repeats until the edge paint is smooth and uniform.

 

 

HYPOALLERGENIC ZERMATT LEATHER FOR LINING

The straps are lined with Zermatt leather from Haas tannery, specially developed for use as a lining material. It is soft to the touch and comfortable even after hours of wear. The leather is water- and sweat-resistant and works well even in hot and humid climate such as Singapore.

 

 

316L STAINLESS STEEL PRE-V BUCKLE

Every strap comes fitted with a 316L Stainless Steel Buckle, engraved with our brand name. With its brushed silver finish, it brings about a sophisticated yet durable look to the strap.
