Strap for Pavonina Date Stainless Steel / Red Gold / Diamond / Grey / Calf

The lug width of the Pavonina 1-03-01-25-06-02 is 16 millimetres. This lug width represents an intermediate standard in the watchmaking landscape and requires mindful strap selection. It is essential to verify that any aftermarket strap specifies «16mm lug width» to ensure precise fit to the case and correct final aesthetics.

For the Pavonina, we recommend an alligator strap with vegetable tanning or a shell cordovan option for the most refined choice. Both materials dialogue harmoniously with the bitonale rose gold-steel case and develop natural patina over time. If you prefer practicality without sacrificing elegance, smooth calf leather in cognac or black represents an excellent compromise. For informal contexts, a navy NATO strap maintains tonal coherence with the dial.

Watches with integrated lugs, such as the Pavonina, require specific tools: a professional strap changer or a clamping press. Position the watch gently on the support, locate the lug attachment point to the case, and use the tool to lift the fastening. Insert the new strap with the correct dimensions (16mm in the case of the Pavonina), ensuring it is securely fixed. We recommend having this operation performed by a professional to avoid damage to the case.

Yes, a quality aftermarket strap is fully compatible with the Pavonina, provided it respects the 16-millimetre lug width. By choosing specialists who use noble materials—alligator, shell cordovan, calf leather with vegetable tanning—you will achieve aesthetic results superior to the integrated bracelet in many contexts. Versatility increases significantly when you can alternate different straps according to season and occasion.

A high-quality natural leather strap, constructed with noble materials such as alligator or vegetable-tanned calf, resists approximately 18-36 months of intensive daily wear. Longevity depends on frequency of wear, climatic conditions, and maintenance. Exposure to sun, water, perspiration, and mechanical stress accelerates ageing. To extend longevity, alternate the strap with other models and occasionally apply protective balms specific to the type of leather.
