Strap for Luminor Marina Blue Logo

The lug width of the Panerai PAM00631 is 24mm. This measurement is calculated by measuring the distance between the case lugs or by checking the internal space between the lugs. It should not be confused with the case diameter, which is 44mm. To verify with certainty, it is recommended to unscrew the original strap and measure the pin with a digital caliper.

Tuscan leather from vegetable tanning in tobacco brown tone is the choice most aligned with the historical and military identity of Panerai. Alligator represents an upgrade towards greater formality while maintaining durability. For frequent underwater use, fluoroelastomer rubber straps guarantee practicality. The choice depends on use: vintage-military = Tuscan leather; formal = alligator; sports-nautical = rubber.

Changing the strap on a PAM00631 requires the use of a spring bar tool or a specific lever. Start from the lower side of the case: insert the lever into the small space next to the lower lug, applying light pressure to extract the elastic pin. Once the pin is removed, the strap slides off easily. For installing the new strap, align the ends with the lug spaces, reintroduce the elastic pin and verify the lock with a slight pull. If in doubt, contact an authorized service center.

Yes, 24mm aftermarket straps are completely compatible with the PAM00631. Online you will find a wide selection of leathers and materials, from artisanal Tuscan leathers to alligator, from nylon NATO straps to resistant FKM rubbers. The only precaution is to verify the lug width measurement (24mm) with precision and ensure that the strap has quality elastic pins, preferably in stainless steel.

The durability of a leather strap depends on the intensity of use and the quality of the tanning. A well-maintained vegetable-tanned Tuscan leather lasts 3-5 years with moderate daily use. Constant exposure to sweat, salt water and UV rays significantly shortens the lifespan. Alligator straps, being thicker and more resistant, can last up to 7 years. To extend the life of the strap, it is recommended to keep it dry, avoid prolonged sun exposure and periodically condition it with specific leather creams. Casati Milano provides an 18-month warranty on all personalized straps.
