Strap for PanoMatic Lunar Red Gold / Green / Alligator / Short Folding

The lug width is 20 millimetres, a rare specification in contemporary watchmaking. This dimension was selected by the manufacture to ensure proportional balance of the 40-millimetre case. Measurement is taken between the inner pins of both lugs, excluding case thickness. Verifying this measurement is essential to guarantee strap compatibility and proper integration with the case architecture.

For the 18k rose gold case of the Pano 1-90-02-23-35-30, alligator in vegetable tanning represents the maximum choice: the reptile's regular grain dialogues naturally with the warm tone of the case. Shell cordovan in traditional tanning offers a refined alternative, developing patina that synchronises the strap with the rose gold's natural aging. For versatility, NATO in silk or dense cotton maintains design integrity; high-density rubber permits seasonal rotation without construction compromise.

The procedure requires a specialised tool: the springbar extractor. Position the watch on a flat surface and insert the tool beneath the inner pin of the lug, lifting gently until the pin retracts from its seat. The current strap can then be removed. For installation of the new strap, align the pins with the lug holes and press carefully until they click into position. Verify secure attachment before wearing the watch.

All straps with 20mm lug width are mechanically compatible with the Glashütte Original Pano 1-90-02-23-35-30, regardless of brand or material. MilanoStraps provides a specialised collection of artisanal straps in 20mm, crafted with selected leather (alligator, shell cordovan, vegetable-tanned calf), fabrics (NATO, silk), and rubber. Construction quality ensures both mechanical compatibility and aesthetic coherence without risk of premature case wear.

Leather strap durability depends on intensity of use, climate, and tanning type. An alligator or shell cordovan strap in vegetable tanning, with ordinary maintenance (drying after humidity exposure, protection from prolonged direct sunlight), maintains structural integrity for 4–6 years of daily wear. Vegetable-tanned calf straps develop further character after the first year, sometimes lasting beyond a decade. High-density rubber offers greater resistance in humid environments but requires regular cleaning. Strap replacement involves no redesign costs: it is routine maintenance that MilanoStraps executes with precision.
