Strap for Senator Chronograph Panorama Date Stainless Steel / Silver / Fabric - Folding

The lug width is 21mm. To verify this measurement accurately, use a calliper to measure the internal distance between the two lugs of the case. This specific width determines compatibility with artisanal straps and defines the customisation options available.

The ideal strap depends on your intended use and aesthetic preference. For classical elegance, alligator or shell cordovan are recommended. For everyday versatility, vegetable-tanned leather or NATO straps offer optimal functionality. A strap with automatic deployante completes the technical sophistication of the chronograph.

To change the strap, use a dedicated spring bar tool to release the elastic pins at the case ends. Insert the pin into the old strap seat, compress the spring and withdraw the pin. Repeat on the other side. Install the new strap by aligning the holes and pushing the pin until it settles into its housing. Verify the pin is firmly secured before wearing the watch.

Yes, high-quality artisanal 21mm straps are available. Milanostraps.it offers a specialised collection in fine leathers (alligator, shell cordovan, vegetable-tanned calf) and technical straps (NATO, vulcanised rubber). All straps are customisable and ready for shipment.

A quality artisanal leather strap, in vegetable-tanned or shell cordovan leather, typically lasts 3-5 years with daily use, depending on care and moisture exposure. Vegetable-tanned leathers develop a characteristic patina over time, improving visually with age. Rubber or NATO straps offer superior durability up to 7-10 years. Regular maintenance and seasonal rotation extend strap longevity.
