Strap for PanoReserve Stainless Steel / Blue / Bracelet

The lug width is 20mm. This measurement is specific to this model and derives from the proportions of the 40mm case. To verify the lug width correctly, use a digital calliper positioned between the two internal lug attachments.

The choice depends on intended use and aesthetic preference. Alligator in dark brown or cognac maintains the formal Saxony character. Vegetable-tanned calf offers softness and aesthetic ageing. Shell cordovan delivers initial rigidity and an elegant grey patina. For casual contexts, a military-grade NATO in cotton emphasises the case proportions without excess.

Obtain a spring bar removal tool. Position the watch on a soft cloth, insert the tool beneath the lug from the lower side to release the internal spring, then extract the lug. Repeat for both sides. The operation requires care to avoid scratching the case. If unfamiliar with the procedure, entrust the task to a specialist workshop.

Yes, provided the lug width is precisely 20mm. Artisanal straps constructed to millimetric specifications maintain the case proportions and guarantee correct fit. Avoid standardised straps that may visually alter the case geometry.

Durability depends on leather quality and usage frequency. Alligator or vegetable-tanned calf lasts 5–10 years under normal conditions. Vegetable-tanned leather, in particular, improves over time by developing a natural patina. Factors such as humidity, sun exposure, and wear frequency influence ageing. Periodic maintenance—cleaning and conditioning—significantly extends strap life.
