Strap for PanoMatic Luna Stainless Steel / Diamond / MOP / Alligator / Pin

The lug width (also called lug size or ansa width) of the Pano 1-90-12-06-12-01 is precisely 19mm. This dimension is specific to this reference and must be matched when selecting any aftermarket strap. To verify correct measurement, use a digital calliper positioned between the two lugs (the cylindrical elements connecting the case to the strap).

The Pano 1-90-12-06-12-01 accommodates various materials according to use context. Alligator with vegetable tanning represents the canonical choice for elegance and natural patina development; shell cordovan offers durability and maintains its appearance over time; calf leather in various grains ensures lightness and daily comfort; cotton NATO straps provide practicality and rapid drying; perforated rubber combines versatility with refinement. Material selection depends on intended use: formal, daily-wear, or active.

To change the strap, you require two essential tools: a spring bar remover (or strap changing knife) and a clean, well-lit work surface. Position the watch with the lug facing upward, insert the remover into the small notch beneath the pin, apply gentle downward pressure to compress the internal spring, and slide the pin out of the lug. Repeat on the opposite side. To install the new strap, reverse the procedure: insert the pin into the first hole of the new strap, compress the spring, and slide the pin into the watch lug. Verify the pin is fully seated and the strap adheres without angular play.

Yes, absolutely. The Pano 1-90-12-06-12-01, equipped with standard 19mm lugs, is fully compatible with aftermarket straps of identical width. MilanoStraps offers a comprehensive selection of bespoke straps in 19mm, crafted from superior materials and customisable according to your colour and texture preferences. Atelier Casati Milano additionally provides sartorial consultation by appointment to identify the most appropriate choice for your lifestyle.

Leather strap longevity depends on material quality and intensity of use. An alligator strap with vegetable tanning, worn daily, typically lasts 3–5 years before replacement; shell cordovan, due to its density, resists 4–7 years; calf leather, being more delicate, requires replacement every 2–4 years. Sun exposure, water contact (pool, sea, heavy rain), and friction against clothing accelerate deterioration. Proper maintenance—immediate drying after moisture, avoiding prolonged sun exposure—significantly extends strap lifespan. MilanoStraps recommends owning at least two straps for a daily-wear watch, enabling rotation and rest periods.
