Custom Watch Strap for Panerai Watch

You can refer to our lug-width guide here.

The lug width of your watch determines the strap size to ensure a proper fit.

To measure the buckle width, use the same method as measuring the lug width. Simply measure the distance between the two ends of the buckle where it attaches to the strap. This ensures the buckle width matches the strap for a secure and proper fit. Use a ruler or caliper for precise measurement, typically in millimeters.

Here are the three most common strap-to-case mechanisms for Panerai and how to handle them:

1. The Screw Bar System

Common on: Luminor Marina (standard), older Submersibles, and Radiomir 1940 cases.

This is the most "classic" Panerai system. The strap is held by a threaded bar that screws directly into the lug.

• Step 1: Place the watch face down on a soft cloth.
• Step 2: Use a high-quality 1.6mm or 1.4mm flat-head screwdriver. Insert it into the screw head on the side of the lug.
• Step 3: Apply firm downward pressure (to avoid slipping and scratching the lug) and turn counter-clockwise until the screw is free.
• Step 4: Push the bar out through the strap using the tip of your screwdriver or a toothpick.
• Step 5: Slide the bar through your new strap, align it with the lug holes, and screw it back in clockwise until snug. Do not over-tighten.

2. The Quick-Release Push Button System

Common on: Modern Luminor 1950s and newer Submersible models.

This is arguably the easiest system in the watch world. It uses a tiny spring-loaded button on the underside of the lugs.

• Step 1: Look at the underside (back) of the lugs. You will see a small circular button on one side of each lug.
• Step 2: Use the plastic "push tool" provided in your Panerai box (or a wooden toothpick).
• Step 3: Simultaneously press the tiny button down while using a second tool (or the other end of the Panerai tool) to push the bar out from the side of the lug.
• Step 4: The bar will slide out easily. Remove the old strap.
• Step 5: To install, slide the bar into the new strap. Place one end of the bar into a lug hole, press the underside button again, and click the bar into the opposite hole.

3. The Radiomir "Wire Lug" System

Common on: Classic Radiomir cases (e.g., PAM 210, PAM 183).

Radiomirs don't have traditional lugs; they have thin wire loops that are secured by screws on the back of the case.

• Step 1: Turn the watch over. You will see four small screws located near the base of the wire loops on the caseback.
• Step 2: Use a small flat-head screwdriver to remove the two screws for one side of the strap.
• Step 3: Gently pull the wire loop away from the case. The "wire" will actually split into two L-shaped pieces or a single U-shape depending on the model.
• Step 4: Slide the wire out of the old strap and insert it into the new strap.
• Step 5: Fit the wire ends back into the case notches and replace the screws. Note: These screws are very tiny; be careful not to lose them!
