MTR's recent acquisition of an IWC Eternal Calendar led to a generous gift from his Authorized Dealer: two new leather straps for his Panerai 670. This post explores how a simple strap change can dramatically alter a watch's aesthetic and character, a concept MTR himself is newly discovering. His experience highlights the transformative power of accessories in personalizing a timepiece.
they really can change completely the look of a watch. For me, your new green strap goes wonderfully with the watch: it makes it less severe, "friendlier" (if that makes sense), and I prefer the look to the one with the original strap. Have a great weekend. Best, Emmanuel
And it looks very nice on the olive strap. What color was the other new strap?
Different straps add up to different personalities, especially on Panerai!
like me, used to recognize 2 distinct phases of addition to the brand: Paneritis, when you couldn't help buying one after another. Wrist-strap-titis, when you bought strap, after strap and changed them, more often than your underpants, a-la-Yacomino Lollllllllllllllll
I’ve also taken a photo of the second strap for you. And to give you a better impression, I laid it over the other strap as well.
I’m glad you think the new strap looks fabulous! I was pleasantly surprised by how much it changed the watch’s vibe.
