Strap for PanoReserve Red Gold / Silver / Alligator / Folding

The lug width of the Pano 1-65-01-25-15-05 is exactly 20mm. This specification is crucial for selecting an aftermarket strap: any strap must have an internal width of 20mm to fit correctly between the lugs without play or excessive tension.

Alligator is the classical choice: its natural texture and patina development over time enhance the red gold, creating chromatic and tactile harmony. For daily wear and superior comfort, vegetable-tanned calf leather offers softness and elegant ageing. NATO is suited for a conscious sporting approach, while rubber is ideal for aquatic environments.

Strap replacement requires a quality spring bar remover tool (small double-ended metallic instrument). Gently insert the flat end beneath the internal spring of the lug, compress the spring, and remove the exhausted strap. Repeat on the other side. Insert the new strap by aligning the lug holes to the attachment seats, then press until you hear the spring click. If inexperienced, entrust the operation to a specialist atelier.

All straps with certified 20mm lug width are compatible with the Pano. Milanostraps.it offers a dedicated collection for this measurement: French alligator, vegetable-tanned calf, cotton and linen NATO, and FKM rubber. Visual verification of the lug geometry with the case is advisable before purchase, or consult the Casati Milano atelier for personalised aesthetic evaluation.

Durability depends on frequency of use, climate, care, and material quality. Premium alligator or vegetable-tanned calf, worn daily, maintains acceptable functionality and aesthetics between 3 and 5 years. The patina it develops is not deterioration, but temporal nobility. Accelerated wear factors: constant humidity, tropical climates, absence of cleaning. A NATO strap, conversely, resists beyond 7-8 years if well maintained. Replacement is not an emergency, but an opportunity for aesthetic renewal of your collection.
