Strap for Radiomir 1936

The Panerai Radiomir PAM00262 is equipped with a 26mm lug width. This dimension is specific to the 47mm case and requires custom-built straps. To verify the width, you must remove the strap from the spring bars and measure the distance between the bars using a ruler or digital caliper.

For the Radiomir PAM262 in platinum, alligator is the optimal choice: the structured texture dialogues with the cold luminosity of platinum without competing visually. Black or dark brown alligator maximizes color contrast. Vegetable tanned leather is a versatile alternative that develops patina over time. Silk NATO is ideal for a contemporary sporty approach.

To replace the strap, you must remove the spring bars using a dedicated tool (spring bar tool or small screwdriver). Position the watch on a soft cloth, gently press the bar from the side of the strap to be removed until it clicks out, remove the old strap, insert the new one by aligning the holes with the lugs, and reposition the bar by pressing until the fixing click.

All straps built with a 26mm lug width are compatible with the PAM262. Milano Straps offers a dedicated collection of 26mm straps in alligator, leather, NATO and rubber, customizable in sizes, initials and stitching thread. The Casati Milano atelier also creates bespoke straps made-to-measure with direct selection of leather.

The lifespan of a leather strap depends on frequency of use, exposure to moisture, and material quality. Premium alligator or leather, worn daily under normal conditions, maintains structural and aesthetic integrity for 3-5 years. Prolonged exposure to water or sweat accelerates wear. Milano Straps vegetable tanned leather straps develop natural patina improving over time. Casati Milano warranty is 18 months from creation for bespoke straps.
