Strap for Pavonina Stainless Steel / Silver / Bracelet

The lug width (ansa) of the Pavonina 1-03-02-12-12-14 is 16mm. This is the internal distance between the two springbar attachment points on the case. It is essential to verify this measurement before purchasing a strap, as a mismatched lug width will not fit properly in the case.

For the Pavonina, an alligator strap with vegetable tanning is the most coherent choice, reflecting the watch's refined aesthetic. Alligator leather develops a natural patina over time that complements the stainless steel case beautifully. Alternative options include shell cordovan for a warmer lustre, or Tuscan calf leather with vegetable tanning for daily versatility.

Changing the strap on the Pavonina requires a springbar tool to gently compress the spring-loaded pin. Once compressed, the pin retracts, allowing the lug to slide out of the case. To install a new strap, insert the lug until the spring snaps back into position. We recommend exercising caution on both sides to avoid scratching the case.

Any strap with a 16mm lug width is compatible with the Pavonina. Milano Straps offers a curated selection of high-quality leather, NATO, and rubber straps, ready to ship and customisable according to your colour and material preferences. Always verify the technical specifications of the strap before purchase to ensure compatibility with the stainless steel case.

A high-quality leather strap, vegetable-tanned, typically lasts 3-5 years with moderate daily use. Longevity depends on frequency of wear, exposure to the elements, and care of the material. Shell cordovan and alligator straps tend to last longer due to the structural density of the leather. We recommend avoiding prolonged water exposure to extend the strap's lifespan.
