The Panerai is the watch that lends itself best to strap changes. Its generous case, wide lugs, and military DNA make it a playground for strap enthusiasts. Here's our guide for Paneristi.
Sizes to know
- Luminor: lug width 24 mm, buckle 22 mm

The original Panerai buckle is a massive 22 mm brushed steel tang buckle. It can be reused on most alternative straps.
Thick leather: the Panerai classic
The Panerai calls for leather with character: thick (4-5 mm), with a strong visual presence. Patinated vintage leathers and leathers with contrasting stitching are particularly suitable. Explore our 24 mm leather straps.
Gunny Straps: Indonesian craftsmanship
Gunny straps are handmade in Indonesia from selected leathers. Thick, rustic, and full of character, they have become a benchmark in the Panerai community.
Rubber
For Submersible and Luminor Marina worn in sporty conditions, a 24 mm rubber strap offers durability and comfort. Rubber B models are available in specific Panerai versions.
NATO
A 24 mm NATO strap gives the Panerai an authentic military look that recalls its origins as a combat watch for the Italian navy.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are Panerai straps interchangeable?
Yes, Panerai watches use a standard spring bar system. Changing them is even easier than on other brands thanks to the well-cleared lugs.
Do I need a special buckle for Panerai?
The original Panerai buckle (22 mm, brushed steel) can be reused on any strap with the correct taper (24/22). Otherwise, our 22 mm buckles are compatible.
What leather for an office Panerai?
A black or dark brown alligator strap in 24 mm will give your Luminor a surprisingly elegant and refined dressy look.
