Strap for PanoReserve Red Gold / Black / Alligator - Pin

The lug width of the Pano 1-65-01-29-15-01 is 20mm. This measurement is integrated into the construction of the red gold case and is proportioned to the 40mm diameter. To verify, use a digital calliper on the inside of the lug, perpendicular to its length: the distance from wall to wall must be exactly 20mm.

For the Pano 1-65-01-29-15-01, we recommend alligator leather in cognac or dark brown tones. The granulated texture of estic leather illuminates under the red gold case, developing a dynamic patina over time. Alternatively, vegetable-tanned calf leather in chocolate develops an excellent vintage patina. For formal evening wear, pair the strap with a red gold deployante that maintains material coherence with the case.

Watches with 20mm lugs typically have spring bars connecting the strap to the case. To remove the strap, use a spring bar tool to compress the spring and slide the pin from its seat. Insert the new strap by aligning the hole with the lug guide, compress the spring, and allow the pin to seat in the opposite guide. If you lack experience, consult a professional: the Pano's lugs merit expert handling.

Yes, the 20mm lug width accommodates numerous artisanal aftermarket straps. Premium options include alligator, calf leather, English leather, and NATO in 20mm from specialised ateliers. Always verify the measurement is certified and that materials harmonise with the red gold case: poor-quality leather immediately betrays the Pano's constructive elegance.

The longevity of a leather strap depends on tanning quality and your lifestyle. Artisan-quality alligator or calf leather, worn regularly in non-humid environments, maintains structural integrity for 7–10 years. The leather develops a beautiful aged patina that amplifies the Pano's vintage character. Apply annual maintenance with natural oils (mink oil or cordovan cream) and protect from bathing and heavy rain to maximise lifespan.
