Strap for PanoMatic Lunar Stainless Steel / Green / Nubuck - Folding

The lug width (misura ansa) of the Glashütte Original Pano is 20mm. This measurement must be verified using a digital calliper positioned perpendicular to the lug seat itself. It is essential to respect this exact dimension to avoid lateral play or binding during strap installation.

The best strap for the Pano depends on the intended purpose. For formal occasions, we recommend alligator in black or dark brown (vegetable-tanned) or calf leather of excellent quality with natural aging. For more versatile daily wear, calf with vegetable tanning in tobacco or beige offers balance between elegance and practicality. For humid environments, fluoroelastomer rubber straps are the ideal choice.

Changing the strap requires the use of a specialised tool, a spring bar tool, to release the tension springs that anchor the strap to the lugs. Position the tool in the small lateral groove of the spring, gently push to release the strap and slide the new strap through the lugs. We recommend having an authorised service centre perform this operation if you lack experience, to avoid damage to the strap or case.

Yes, any strap with a 20mm lug width is compatible with the Pano. However, it is essential to verify that the strap is made from superior-quality materials and finishes, so that the combination does not diminish the elegance of the case. We recommend artisanal straps in alligator, calf or shell cordovan with vegetable tanning, to ensure longevity and harmonious ageing patina.

The lifespan of a leather strap depends on the material, tanning quality and usage. A superior-quality alligator strap (vegetable-tanned) lasts 5-8 years if worn daily. Excellent-quality calf lasts on average 3-5 years, developing an aging patina that becomes more appealing over time. Shell cordovan, thanks to its intrinsic robustness, often exceeds 10 years. Rotating between multiple straps significantly extends the lifespan of each one.
