Strap for Aquaracer 300M Calibre 16 Day-Date 43 Stainless Steel / Black / Rubber

The lug width of the TAG Heuer Aquaracer CAF2010.FT8011 is 20mm. This measurement represents the internal distance between the lugs on the case and determines compatibility with any strap. To verify correctly, measure from the case back, from one lug to the other, passing over the case body itself.

The TAG Heuer Aquaracer CAF2010.FT8011 pairs perfectly with premium materials. An alligator strap in vegetable tanning offers visual contrast with the brushed steel case; grained calf leather combines elegance and durability; shell cordovan represents the ultimate choice for longevity and natural patina development. For intensive sports use, a NATO strap in grey-blue canvas or a vulcanised rubber strap provide waterproofing and grip.

Strap replacement requires a spring bar tool for gentle removal of the retaining spring. Position the tool in the slot beneath the lug, apply light lateral pressure and the spring will retract, freeing the old strap. Insert the new strap by aligning one lug first, then press the other side until the spring clicks into place. Avoid abrupt movements to prevent case damage.

Yes. Any strap with a 20mm lug width is compatible with the CAF2010.FT8011. Online you'll find a wide range of artisanal straps in alligator, calf, shell cordovan and rubber, customisable in colour, initials and details. The Casati Milano atelier produces bespoke straps with direct consultation and 18-month warranty, offering tailored solutions that respect case proportions.

A quality leather strap with vegetable tanning (alligator, calf, shell cordovan) lasts an average of 5-7 years of daily use. Lifespan depends on intensity of use, climate conditions and maintenance. Vegetable-tanned alligator develops a natural patina that enhances its appearance, while shell cordovan improves over time. To extend life, avoid prolonged exposure to excessive humidity and occasionally apply a protective balm.
