Strap for Pavonina Stainless Steel / MOP / Bracelet

The lug width of the Pavonina 1-03-02-05-12-14 is exactly 18mm. This dimension represents the distance between the two case lugs and is fixed. To verify it, position a digital calliper on the inner shoulder of the left lug to the inner edge of the right lug.

Alligator leather with vegetable tanning represents the most coherent choice for the Pavonina: its regular grain and developing patina complement the satin finish of the rose gold case. For daily wear, vegetable-tanned calf offers superior softness on the lug curves. FKM rubber is ideal in humid environments where vegetable leathers suffer. NATO straps are not recommended due to proportional conflict and sporting character.

The Pavonina features fixed lugs at 18mm width. Use a dedicated spring bar tool: insert the flat blade into the groove beneath the lug, compress the internal spring and extract the pin. Repeat on the opposite side. Install the new strap by aligning its side holes with the case lugs, then reposition the pin with firm pressure until it clicks into place.

Yes. On milanostraps.it you will find a dedicated collection of 18mm straps, available in alligator, calf, shell cordovan and FKM rubber. Compatibility is guaranteed if the strap thickness does not exceed 4.5mm. Verify that the strap length (lug-to-lug) is not below 120mm on the top section and 75mm on the bottom section to ensure comfort on smaller wrists.

Durability depends on tanning method and frequency of wear. Quality vegetable-tanned alligator maintains structural integrity for 5-8 years in daily rotation, developing aesthetic patina within the first 18 months. Vegetable-tanned calf has similar lifespan but requires periodic conditioning. FKM rubber resists degradation for 3-5 years before losing elasticity. Protect the strap from prolonged UV exposure and extreme humidity to extend longevity.
