Strap for Carrera Calibre Heuer 02T 45 Chronograph Tourbillon Ceramic / Calf

The lug width of this model is 20mm, measured from the inner edge of one lug to the other. This dimension is specific to the 45mm case and is critical for proper strap seating without excessive play or binding.

For this technical chronograph, alligator in natural tones—black, cognac, tobacco—dialogues perfectly with the ceramic-steel case, or structured rubber for maintaining racing heritage. Vegetable-tanned leather offers a versatile alternative with authentic ageing characteristics.

Strap replacement requires a dedicated lug pin extraction tool. Position the watch on a protective pad, locate the access holes in the lugs, gently depress the pin with the tool, extract the worn strap, and seat the new one, verifying absence of play during articulation.

Yes, provided the lug width is precisely 20mm. Milano Straps manufactures bespoke straps customisable in length, leather selections and stitching colours, ensuring construction compatibility with the CAR5A90.FT6121 lugs whilst preserving case aesthetics.

A quality alligator or vegetable-tanned leather strap retains structural integrity for 3-5 years of daily wear, with predictable ageing. Durability depends on humidity exposure, perspiration contact and mechanical stress; technical rubber resists longer in humid environments.
