Strap for Senator Panorama Date Moonphase Stainless Steel / Blue / Alligator / Folding

The lug width of the Senator 100-04-05-12-30 is 20mm. This dimension, measured from the inner wall of one lug to the other, ensures compatibility with standard artisanal straps and allows for a wide selection of materials and finishes without constructive compromises.

The choice depends on intended use. For maximum aesthetic coherence with Saxon heritage, a vegetable-tanned alligator in medium brown amplifies the purity of the dial. For elegant daily wear, black polished calfskin with a stainless steel deployante is unmatched. For versatility and expressiveness, a dark blue NATO guarantees freedom without compromising the dress watch's identity.

The strap is replaced using a spring bar tool to compress the springs that attach the strap to the lugs. Gently lift the spring with the tool, extract the old strap, insert the new one by aligning it perfectly with the attachments (without forcing), and release the spring. Verify that the strap adheres uniformly without lateral play. With a standard 20mm lug width, assembly is straightforward and requires no intermediaries.

Yes, absolutely. The standard 20mm lug width allows you to mount any artisanal strap certified for this dimension. Milano Straps offers a complete range of straps in alligator, calfskin, shell cordovan, NATO, and rubber—all compatible with the Senator and available for dispatch or online customisation.

Durability depends on material and maintenance. A quality artisanal vegetable-tanned alligator resists 5–7 years with moderate use and regular conditioning. Tannic calfskin lasts 3–5 years. Shell cordovan, though more fragile initially, develops an extraordinary patina and can last up to 10 years. Vulcanised FKM rubber offers maximum longevity, exceeding 7 years even with intensive use and humid conditions.
