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

The lug width of the Glashütte Original Pano 1-90-02-23-35-50 is 20mm. This measurement is taken internally between the lugs of the case, from the left attachment point to the right attachment point. It is crucial to respect this measurement with millimetre precision: a variation of 1mm compromises wearability and aesthetic appearance of the strap.

For the Pano in red gold 40mm, we recommend straps in medium brown alligator with vegetable tanning, or cognac or hazelnut calf for natural chromatic harmony. Burgundy shell cordovan develops an elegant patina as it ages in contact with the gold. For sports contexts, a navy blue NATO or grey graphite FKM rubber strap maintains aesthetic control without compromise.

Use a precision removal tool (spring bar tool) to gently disengage the elastic pins from the case lugs. Insert the tool into the lower hole of the lug, lift with light rotatory movement until the spring retracts, then slide the pin out of the hole. Repeat for the other lug. Insert the new strap by aligning the holes in the lugs with the elastic pins, then operate the spring to secure. This operation requires patience and correct tools.

Yes, the 20mm artisanal straps produced by Milano Straps are fully compatible with the Glashütte Original Pano 1-90-02-23-35-50. They have been tested to ensure perfect fit without unwanted play. The constructive quality of customisable straps often surpasses the original, with choice of premium materials (alligator, shell cordovan, calf, NATO) and personalised finishing options.

A premium leather strap (vegetable tanning) subjected to moderate wear lasts approximately 3-5 years before replacement is required. Longevity depends on frequency of use, climate conditions and maintenance. Natural leather ages developing patina, which is also considered a character element. In dry climates, duration increases; in humid environments or with elevated perspiration, it reduces. Occasional treatment with protective cream significantly extends the strap's lifespan.
