Frequently asked questions

What is the lug width of the Panerai Luminor PAM00028 (PAM28, PAM 28)?

The Panerai Luminor PAM00028 is fitted with a 24mm lug width. This measurement is determined by the geometry of the 44mm case and the crown protection bridge. It is essential to measure the inner lug width (the case lug) and not the outer width of the original strap to ensure correct compatibility.

What is the best strap for the Panerai Luminor PAM00028?

Vegetable-tanned Tuscan leather represents the ideal choice for the PAM00028, particularly in Honey or Tobacco tones. These materials develop a natural patina over time, adding character without compromising the authenticity of the sport-military design. Calf or alligator straps are also excellent alternatives, with varying degrees of formality.

How do you change the strap on a Panerai Luminor PAM00028?

To change the strap, you must use a spring bar tool. Insert the tip of the tool into the space between the spring and the case, gently compress the spring inward, and slide the lug out of the hole. The reverse process allows installation of the new strap. Extreme care is recommended to avoid scratching the case.

Can I use a 24mm aftermarket strap compatible with other watches?

Yes, any 24mm strap is technically compatible with the PAM00028, however it is advisable to choose models that respect appropriate thickness and length. Straps that are too rigid or misshapen may conflict with the crown protection bridge. Milano Straps offers 24mm straps designed to maintain correct angulation and optimal fit.

How long does a leather strap last on a Panerai Luminor PAM00028?

A quality leather strap with vegetable tanning (such as our Tuscan) typically lasts 3-5 years with daily use, with the possibility of extending to 7-8 years with careful maintenance. Factors such as sun exposure, humidity, and frequency of use affect longevity. Milano Straps offers an 18-month warranty and allows replacement of the deployant clasp at no additional cost within this period.
