Strap for PanoReserve Stainless Steel / Blue / Synthetic

The lug width of the Glashütte Original Pano 1-65-01-26-12-64 is 20 millimetres. This measurement refers to the internal space between the two lugs of the case and should be measured with a digital calliper to avoid confusion with the thickness of a previous strap.

We recommend an alligator strap in dark grey or black with a medium-fine grain to preserve the austere aesthetic of Glashütte manufacturing. Alternatively, vegetable-tanned calf leather in natural brown tones develops patina over time, or burgundy shell cordovan for those preferring controlled chromatic contrast.

To change a 20mm strap, use a spring bar removal tool to compress the internal spring mechanism and extract the spring bar from the lugs. Position the tool in the narrow slot of the spring bar, apply gentle pressure to compress the spring, and remove the bar. Reverse the procedure with the new strap, ensuring both spring bars are securely seated.

Yes, any leather or fabric strap equipped with compatible spring bars for a 20mm lug width is fully compatible. Artisanal straps in alligator, calf, and shell cordovan typically offer superior construction quality compared to OEM alternatives and allow aesthetic customisation coherent with the watch's character.

A quality artisanal leather strap, constructed with vegetable tanning or shell cordovan, lasts 4-7 years with daily wear if kept dry and conditioned regularly. Natural leather adapts to the wrist over time, developing a distinctive patina that increases aesthetic value. NATO or natural rubber straps offer greater longevity, 7-10 years, as they are not subject to biological degradation phenomena.
