Strap for Luminor Due Luna Automatic Stainless Steel / Blue

The lug width of the Panerai Luminor Due PAM01179 is exactly 20 millimeters. This is the standard measurement for the new generation 38mm Luminor Due models. To verify this yourself, use a digital caliper or ruler positioned between the spring bar pins (the internal distance). It is essential to confirm this measurement before purchasing any aftermarket strap, as even minor variations could compromise fit and overall aesthetics.

There is no universal choice—it depends on your intended use and personal style. For formal elegance, natural alligator with horizontal grain offers sophisticated patina. For daily wear, grained or textured calf leather provides durability and comfort. Bison leather is ideal if you seek robustness and accelerated aging. In summer, an FKM rubber or NATO strap offers practicality without aesthetic compromise. Casati Milano's atelier allows you to choose from hundreds of leathers and finishes, creating a truly personalized strap.

The process is straightforward with the right tools. Obtain a spring bar tool (specialized lever) and two spare pins. Position the watch with the lug facing you, insert the forked tip of the tool under the lower pin, and lift gently until the pin pops out. Repeat for the other end. Insert the new strap by aligning the holes with the pins, then secure the pin by pushing it until it clicks. If you prefer to avoid any risk, Casati Milano's atelier offers strap change service with warranty.

Any strap with a 20 millimeter lug width is compatible with the PAM01179. On milanostraps.it you will find a curated collection of 20mm straps in alligator, calf, vintage leather, rubber, and technical materials, all ready to ship and customizable in color, initials, and stitching thread. Casati Milano also creates bespoke custom straps with personal selection from dozens of fine leathers and 18-month guaranteed finishing.

Durability depends on material, frequency of use, and maintenance. A quality artisanal alligator strap, with proper care, can last 5-10 years. Grained calf leather has an average lifespan of 3-5 years with daily wear. Bison leather is among the most durable (7-12 years). Critical factors are direct sun exposure, moisture, and sweat—periodic cleaning with a soft, dry cloth and avoiding prolonged water immersion significantly extend useful life. Casati Milano offers an 18-month warranty on all its straps and can perform maintenance and restoration over time.
