Strap for PanoReserve Stainless Steel / Silver / Alligator / Folding

The lug width of the Pano is 20 mm. This measurement refers to the external distance between the two lateral lugs that connect the case to the watch strap. To verify this dimension, position the watch face-down and measure the gap between the lugs: precision is essential to ensure proper strap compatibility.

The optimal strap depends on your intended use. For formal wear, we recommend premium alligator with fine grain, or vegetable-tanned calf leather that develops character over time. For daily versatility, a raw canvas NATO or FKM rubber strap maintains the Pano's minimalist design without competing with the panoramic dial. The deployant should be understated, in brushed steel.

Strap replacement requires specific tools: a spring bar tool and a stable work surface. Position the watch face-down, locate the two lateral lugs beneath the case, insert the tool's tip into the small hole beside each lug to compress the internal spring, then extract the pins. Subsequently, insert the new pins into the new strap, position them in the case holes, and release: you will feel a locking click. If inexperienced, consult a specialised service centre.

Yes, provided the strap is sized for 20 mm lugs. Milanostraps.it offers a specialised collection of leather, NATO, and rubber straps at 20 mm, all tested for mechanical and aesthetic compatibility. Always verify that the lug opening is contoured to accommodate the Pano case's curve and that the deployant is not oversized.

Durability depends on material and usage. Premium alligator with vegetable tanning maintains structural integrity for 5–7 years with regular care (wrist hygiene, moisture protection). Vegetable-tanned calf has comparable longevity, with the advantage of developing aesthetic patina. Canvas NATO lasts 3–4 years before fibre wear becomes evident. FKM rubber resists 4–6 years. We recommend seasonal rotation to extend strap lifespan.
