Brushed or polished?

A brushed finish has a soft, matte grain that matches a brushed steel case and shows small scratches less. A polished finish is shiny and suits polished cases or a dressier leather strap. Black versions work well on black rubber for a low-key look. Because there are four widths, the same buckle style can go on several straps in your collection.

If you want a folding clasp instead, see the stainless steel folding Panerai buckle in 20mm or 22mm.

How to fit it

1. Work on a soft cloth so the watch case is protected.
2. Use a spring bar tool to release the small spring bar that holds the old buckle on the strap.
3. Place the new buckle on the strap end, refit the spring bar and check that it is seated on both sides.
4. Close the buckle a few times to make sure it holds. The watch case is never opened.
