Strap for Panerai Submersible PAM00087

The Panerai Submersible PAM00087 features a lug width of exactly 24mm. This measurement is determined by the proportions of the 44mm case and ensures correct visual harmony between case and strap. The measurement refers to the internal distance between the two spring bars. You can verify it using a spring bar tool to remove the current strap and measure with calipers, or by consulting the watch's original documentation.

The choice depends on use and aesthetic preference. Alligator is the classic choice: fine texture, elegant, develops patina over time, and pairs perfectly with black or blue dials. Vegetable tanned leather offers pronounced grain and characteristic aging. NATO is the operational solution: waterproof, resistant to salt water, ideal for frequent diving. FKM rubber is perfect for intensive underwater use. On milanostraps.it you will find customizable 24mm straps in leather, color, and stitching thread options.

The PAM00087 uses pin-bar type lugs (straight pins), which facilitate replacement. Get a spring bar tool: insert the bifid tip into the lug slot, press lightly and the pin retracts, allowing you to remove the strap from the case. Repeat on the other side. To mount the new strap, align the lugs with the case lugs and push until the locking click. No special skills required. If you prefer to avoid it, Casati Milano performs the change by appointment.

Yes, any strap with a 24mm lug width is compatible with the PAM00087, provided the lugs are of the standard pin-bar type (the most common). Compatibility is guaranteed by the lug width measurement, not by the strap brand. On milanostraps.it you will find handcrafted straps in alligator, leather, NATO, and rubber, all certified for 24mm width and available in various configurations. You can customize color, leather type, and stitching thread according to your taste.

A leather strap (alligator or vegetable tanned) has a lifespan of 3-5 years if worn daily and exposed to climate variations. Frequent exposure to salt water shortens its life: if the PAM00087 is used often for diving, it is advisable to adopt a NATO or rubber strap for those occasions. Leather evolves naturally: it darkens, develops patina, and sometimes shows surface cracks that enhance its character without compromising functionality. Casati Milano guarantees 18 months on handcrafted straps made to measure.
