Cordovan 24mm — Shell for Tudor and Panerai

SIZE 24MM · CORDOVAN

24mm Shell Cordovan: Uncompromising Strength

At 24mm, the cordovan shows all its distinguishing features: the shell fibers adapt to the wrist without creasing, the surface does not scratch but creases—a mark disappears with thumb pressure. It is not conventional leather: it comes from a specific area of the horse, requiring six months of vegetable tanning. This is why it ages differently, improving with time.

On a Tudor 42010N or 42000CR, burgundy or black find a natural balance. On a Panerai, the tan brown shade creates a measured contrast. Each pairing is created in the workshop: choose the cordovan on the watch, the strap is built afterward.

Frequently asked questions

Which 24mm watches are compatible with a Cordovan strap?

Tudor 42010N, 42000CR, 42000CN and Panerai PAM02231, PAM02070. All require a 24mm lug. Check the thickness: if it's less than 4mm, the strap won't hold.

Why choose Cordovan for a 24mm watch?

Cordovan is the most wear-resistant shell — 24mm straps in circulation for 10 years look like they've been worn for 2. It doesn't scratch, it flexes. Natural colours on slim wrists make the pairing proportionate.

How do you measure a 24mm lug? How do I check before ordering?

Measure the lug between the attachments with a calliper, from inside to inside. At 24mm you should have a gap of 24±0.5mm. Without a calliper: a ruler helps, but come to the atelier to confirm the exact measurement.

How much does a 24mm Cordovan strap cost?

Starting from €120. The price varies with the finish and the tannery chosen — matte Horween or satin Shinki — but this is the entry point.

Can a 24mm Cordovan strap be ordered made to measure in the atelier?

Casati Milano receives by appointment at Via XX Settembre 15, Milan. The leather is chosen together — the strap is created on the watch, not beforehand.
