Strap for Luminor GMT

The Panerai Luminor PAM00023 has a lug width of 24mm. This measurement is characteristic of the model and requires specialized straps. To verify, measure the distance between the two inner points of the lugs at the top of the case.

The best strap depends on intended use: for elegance, a brown Nile alligator with natural patina; for water comfort, FKM rubber with drainage holes; for tactical versatility, a 1000D navy canvas NATO; for Italian character, vegetable-tanned Tuscan calf. All available in 24mm compatible with the PAM00023 lugs.

The PAM00023 uses either lugs or spring bars depending on the version. Remove the previous strap by unscrewing the lugs (if present) or extracting the lateral spring bars with a strap tool. Insert the new 24mm strap at the same points, ensuring it is secure. If you are unfamiliar with the process, the Casati Milano atelier performs strap changes at no additional cost.

Not entirely. Although 24mm is the correct width for the PAM00023, the attachment type (straight lugs, angled lugs, spring bars, or Paneristi quick-release) varies between models. It is advisable to choose straps specifically designed for your PAM00023 to ensure a perfect fit and avoid damage to the lugs.

A quality leather strap (alligator, calf, vegetable-tanned leather) lasts between 2 and 5 years of daily use, depending on exposure to sweat, water, and wear. Rubber lasts 3–7 years. Milano Straps offers an 18-month warranty on all handcrafted straps and creates replacement pieces at reasonable costs, indefinitely extending the life of your watch.
