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

The lug width of the Glashütte Original Pavonina 1-03-01-27-06-04 is 18mm. This measurement represents the distance between the case lugs and specifies the compatibility dimension for any strap. On milanostraps.it you will find the complete collection of 18mm straps, from fine leather to NATO and rubber options.

The ideal strap depends on usage context and case variant. For the rose gold/steel bicolour version, we recommend Mississippi alligator with matte finish in cognac tone or burgundy shell cordovan, which enhance the warmth of the gold. For the full steel version, a silk-weave NATO in navy or a vegetable-tanned calf in grey-blue creates pure visual contrast. For intensive daily wear, an FKM rubber strap offers durability and zero maintenance.

Strap replacement is performed by extracting the spring bars that connect the strap to the case. Using a Spring Bar Tool or small curved pliers, apply pressure from below to release the bar from its seat. Insert the new 18mm strap into the lugs, sliding the bar until it locks back in place. The operation requires care to avoid scratching the rose gold lugs. Casati Milano also offers a strap-change service at the atelier by appointment.

Yes, any strap with an 18mm lug width is compatible with the Glashütte Original Pavonina 1-03-01-27-06-04. The handcrafted straps from milanostraps.it, made in alligator, shell cordovan, vegetable-tanned calf, NATO and rubber, all mount with the case's standard spring bars. We recommend verifying that the bars are of correct length to avoid excessive play.

Durability depends on material and intensity of use. A quality alligator or shell cordovan strap, with moderate wear (5-7 days per week), maintains functionality for 3-4 years before structural failure appears. A vegetable-tanned calf develops patina more quickly but has similar lifespan. Continuous exposure to moisture, perspiration and heat accelerates ageing. An FKM rubber strap lasts 5-6 years with basic maintenance. To extend the life of leather straps, alternation with other straps and periodic cleaning are recommended.
