Strap for Senator Excellence Panorama Date Stainless Steel / Grey / Bracelet

The lug width is 20mm. This measurement is specific to this model and ensures perfect strap compatibility. To verify, remove the original strap using an appropriate tool and measure the distance between the two upper contact points of the lugs on the case.

A vegetable-tanned alligator strap in chestnut or dark brown represents the ideal choice aesthetically: the natural vertical grain of alligator creates a texture that echoes the geometric engravings of the guilloché dial. Alternatively, vegetable-tanned calf or a dark grey canvas NATO bracelet offer excellent compromises between aesthetics and practicality.

Strap replacement requires a specific tool to remove the spring bars. Position the watch on a soft surface with the lugs facing upward. Insert the tool's tip into the small hole beneath the lug and gently press downward to release the spring bar. Repeat for both lugs. Insert the new spring bars so they lock into the designated seats on the new strap. Ensure the spring bars are fully engaged before wearing the watch.

All straps with a 20mm lug width are compatible. Milano Straps offers a curated selection of handcrafted leather straps (alligator, calf, shell cordovan), canvas NATO, and rubber, specifically selected to enhance the Saxonian aesthetics of this model. Each strap is customisable at the Casati Milano atelier by appointment.

A quality leather strap (alligator, vegetable-tanned calf, or shell cordovan) typically lasts 3-5 years with daily use, developing a naturally appreciated patina. Longevity depends on environmental factors (humidity, perspiration) and the type of tanning. With proper care (regular cleaning, air drying) and rotating with other straps, the lifespan extends considerably.
