Strap for PanoReserve Red Gold / Blue / Alligator - Pin

The lug width of the Glashütte Original Pano 1-65-01-04-15-01 is 20mm. This measurement is taken from the inner left shoulder to the inner right shoulder of the lug attachment on the case. For a compatible watch strap, it is essential to verify that the strap passant fits perfectly to this measurement, ensuring correct and stable installation.

For a Glashütte Original Pano in rose gold, straps in dark brown alligator or shell cordovan subjected to vegetable tanning represent the most elegant choices. Alligator creates tonal harmony with the warm undertones of the gold, whilst cordovan develops a patina that evolves over time, chronicling the history of the precious case. Grained calf leather with fine grain also offers chromatic versatility whilst maintaining aesthetic coherence.

To change the strap, you will need a specific watch strap change tool (spring bar tool). Position the tool beneath the spring bar that supports the lug, exerting gentle upward pressure to release the spring from the case hole. Once released, the strap slides away naturally. To install a new 20mm strap, align the passant holes with the case holes and reinsert the spring bars with the same tool, ensuring they are perfectly anchored.

Yes, it is entirely possible to use aftermarket straps of artisanal quality on a Glashütte Original Pano, provided they respect the 20mm lug width. 20mm compatible straps in leather, NATO or FKM rubber allow you to fully personalise the appearance of the watch. Relying on specialised manufacturers ensures that the passant adheres correctly to the case without play or deformation.

An artisanal quality leather strap—made from alligator, shell cordovan or grained calf—has an average lifespan of 3-5 years with moderate daily use. Longevity depends on the environment (humidity, heat), frequency of use and the care taken of the strap. Shell cordovan subjected to vegetable tanning, for example, tends to last longer than other leathers, as the fibre remains dense and resistant even as it ages. Regular maintenance (gentle cleaning, conditioning) significantly extends the life of the strap.
