Strap for SeaQ Panorama Date Stainless Steel / Black / Textile - Folding

The lug width of the SeaQ 1-36-13-01-80-35 is 21 millimetres. This technical specification must be verified with a digital caliper positioned between the inner lugs with the watch unstrapped. The acceptable manufacturing tolerance is ±0.20 millimetres to ensure correct strap bar seating without excessive friction.

The choice of strap depends on the intended use. For formal contexts, alligator leather with vegetable tanning or classically tanned alligator are the most appropriate solutions. For daily use in humid or technical environments, a vulcanised rubber strap ensures superior functionality and durability. For versatility, a quality NATO fabric strap permits frequent changes and practical replacement.

The strap is changed by extracting the spring bars positioned horizontally at the lugs, using a spring bar tool or small flathead screwdriver. Insert the tool into the bar's hole, apply gentle pressure to retract the pin, and slide the strap out of the lug. Reverse the procedure to mount the new strap, ensuring the pins align perfectly with the lug holes.

Yes, it is possible to fit a quality aftermarket strap in 21mm lug width to your SeaQ. It is essential to select straps from specialised manufacturers that respect tight manufacturing tolerances (21.00 ±0.20 mm). Milano Straps offers a curated selection of 21mm straps in premium materials—alligator, calf, NATO, rubber—compatible with the SeaQ and ergonomically tested.

A quality leather strap (alligator or vegetable-tanned calf) has an average longevity of 5-7 years with daily use, provided it undergoes regular maintenance: careful drying after moisture contact, conditioning every 12-18 months with specialist products, and rotation with alternative straps to distribute mechanical stress. Alligator tends to last longer than calf due to shield structure, whilst calf develops patina more rapidly but remains functional longer if properly stored.
