Strap for PanoMatic Lunar Stainless Steel / Silver / Alligator / Folding

The Glashütte Original Pano 1-90-02-42-32-05 features a lug width of 20 millimetres. This is the space between the lug pins (lateral attachments) of the case and determines full compatibility with aftermarket straps. When replacing the original strap, you must select exclusively a 20mm strap to ensure a perfect fit within the case.

For the Pano, we recommend a strap in alligator with vegetable tanning or shell cordovan, which enhance the pure constructive nature of the stainless steel case. If you prefer versatility, a calf leather with cocco grain offers artisanal quality at an accessible price. For summer or casual environments, a cotton NATO strap provides practicality without compromising the elegance of the Glashütte manufacture.

Strap replacement requires a specific tool called a spring bar tool. Insert the tool tip near the lateral pin to decompress the internal spring, then extract the pin from the case. Once the lug is free, you can insert the new strap by aligning the holes with the case pins. Press until you hear the retention click. If you are not experienced, contact the Casati Milano atelier for professional replacement.

Yes, any quality 20mm strap is compatible with the Glashütte Original Pano 1-90-02-42-32-05. Choose straps made by artisans specialising in luxury watch straps, with consistent finish and thickness (ideally 1.5–1.8mm for leather, 1.8–2.0mm for cordovan). Verify that the strap is fitted with sliding or integral pins that adapt to the geometry of the stainless steel case.

A quality leather strap, made with vegetable tanning or shell cordovan, has an average lifespan of 3–5 years with regular use. Durability depends on intensity of use, ambient humidity and maintenance. Cordovan, thanks to its constructive density, can last 7–10 years. Over time, the strap develops a natural patina that does not compromise functionality. When fibres begin to yield at the edges or the strap becomes fragile, it is time to replace it.
