Strap for Sixties Panorama Date Stainless Steel / Green / Calf / Pin / Annual Edition

The lug width of this model is precisely 18.00mm, measured perpendicularly between the two lugs of the case using a digital calliper. This dimension is specific to the Sixties and corresponds to straps ranging from 16mm to 18mm in width, depending on the thickness of the material chosen.

The ideal strap depends on usage: Hermès alligator or vegetable-tanned calf for formal elegance, with patina that develops over time; cotton NATO for practicality and versatility; FKM rubber for warm climates and maximum durability. Alligator is recommended to enhance the rationalist design of the dial.

Position the watch on a soft cloth. Use a spring bar tool to gently lift the retraction springs (one at a time) at the case lugs. Insert the new strap by aligning the lug holes with the slots, then re-insert the springs. Never force: if the strap does not slide smoothly, it is misaligned. This operation is recommended at Casati Milano for optimal precision.

Yes, all Milano Straps with 18mm lug width are compatible. Always verify your watch's exact lug width before ordering: if your timepiece has precisely 18mm lugs, any strap from the 18mm collection fits perfectly and can be customised online with fast shipping.

Durability depends on the material: alligator and vegetable-tanned calf last 4-6 years with rotation and regular maintenance; cotton NATO straps 5-7 years; FKM rubber 3-4 years (exposed to UV). Rotating between two straps significantly extends the life of both, preventing concentrated mechanical stress.
