Strap for Senator Excellence Panorama Date Stainless Steel / Silver / Synthetic - Folding

The lug width of the Glashütte Original Senator 1-36-03-01-02-34 is precisely 18mm. This dimension is specific to this model and was calculated according to the proportions of the 40mm case to maintain the golden ratio between the diameter and the overall strap width. The measurement is taken by measuring the distance between the two lugs where the strap attaches to the case.

The ideal strap depends on use case: for classic elegance, we recommend alligator in cognac brown or calf leather in black with deployant clasp. For daily versatility, a NATO strap in Oxford cotton grey-blue or an FKM rubber strap. For aesthetic sustainability over time, black shell cordovan offers organic patina evolution. All Milano Straps straps in 18mm format are compatible with the Senator.

The Senator uses standard lugs (not proprietary). To remove the strap: position the watch with the lug facing upward, use a spring bar tool to compress the internal spring of the lug, pull the strap downward, release. Reverse the procedure to install the new strap. If the strap features a deployant clasp, ensure it is properly adjusted to your wrist circumference before securing the clasp.

No. The Senator 1-36-03-01-02-34 uses standard 18mm lugs, therefore any aftermarket strap with the same measurement is compatible. Milano Straps offers artisanal straps in leather, NATO, and rubber certified for this size, with construction quality guarantee superior to industrial alternatives. No modification or adaptation is required.

A high-quality artisanal leather strap (such as those from Milano Straps) guarantees an average lifespan of 8-15 years with daily use. Vegetable-tanned leather tends to last longer (up to 20 years with maintenance) due to its natural durability. Shell cordovan easily reaches 15-20 years. Regular maintenance (cleaning with a damp cloth every 2 weeks, balm every 6 months) significantly extends the strap's life.
