You will love the quality of the Firenze, as every detail is thoughtfully crafted to compliment your Panerai.
The Firenze is made from hand selected, genuine Russian Leather that is organically tanned with an ancient blend of vegetable substances.

Following the tanning process, each leather hide is carefully inspected and evaluated to ensure the final product is of the most superior quality. The craftsman at RIOS1931 then use this premium Russian Leather to artfully construct the Firenze watch band, built to exact OEM specifications for your Panerai.
When compared to other leather watch bands for Panerai, the RIOS1931 is truly a notch above the competition.
The RIOS1931 Firenze is available in 22mm, 24mm, 26mm, and 26mm for Panerai Radiomir.
