Strap for Radiomir 1940 Oro Rosso

The lug width of the Panerai Radiomir 1940 PAM00398 is exactly 26mm. This measurement must be verified by inserting a caliper between the two lugs in the narrowest area where the strap rests on the case. It is essential to respect this dimension to avoid unwanted gaps or mechanical pressure that could damage the rose gold case.

For the PAM00398 in rose gold, we recommend alligator in bordeaux or cognac color, which creates a warm-on-warm harmony with the precious metal, or dark brown calf leather for a more versatile aesthetic with natural patina over time. Gray or black rubber represents the contemporary and sporty option. NATO straps are not recommended for this model, which requires a luxury strap.

The Radiomir 1940 features curved lugs without traditional removable bars. To change the strap, you will need to use a spring bar remover or consult a professional watchmaker. The curved lugs of the PAM398 require care to avoid scratching: we recommend entrusting the task to an expert, or ordering a new strap already fitted from the Casati Milano atelier.

Yes, any 26mm strap is compatible with other Panerai models with 26mm lugs, such as other Radiomir or Luminor line models. However, the lug curvature and specific thickness of the PAM398 may vary slightly between models: we recommend verifying your reference specifications before ordering.

A quality alligator strap, with proper care, lasts approximately 3-5 years of daily use. Calf leather tends to last slightly less (2-4 years) as it is more subject to cracking and wear. High-end vulcanized rubber lasts 4-6 years. All straps ordered from Milano Straps and Casati Milano include an 18-month warranty against manufacturing defects.
