Strap for Carrera Calibre Heuer 02 43 Rose Gold / Skeleton / Alligator

The TAG Heuer Carrera CBG2051.FC6426 is equipped with lugs of 20mm width. This measurement is critical for purchasing a replacement strap and should be verified using a digital calliper positioned perpendicular to the junction between the lug and the case. All Milano Straps straps designated for this model comply precisely with this specification.

For a bicolour chronograph in steel and rose gold, we primarily recommend alligator in vegetable tanning (dark brown or polished black) which balances sportiness with refinement, or shell cordovan in burgundy for those desiring rich texture and intrinsic lustre. Vegetable-tanned calf leather represents a versatile alternative with lower maintenance requirements.

The CBG2051.FC6426 utilises a straight lug attachment system with 20mm lugs. To remove the original strap, you must use a dedicated lug removal tool to withdraw the pin from the lugs. The new strap, fitted with spring bars compatible with the 20mm width, is inserted in the opposite direction until it seats firmly. Professional watchmaking expertise is recommended to avoid damage to the case.

Yes, provided the spring bar (the element that secures the strap to the case lugs) is compatible with the 20mm width of the CBG2051.FC6426. Milano Straps' straps in the 20mm collection have been validated for this model and guarantee precise fit, durability and aesthetic coherence with the steel-rose gold bicolour scheme.

A quality leather strap (alligator, calf or shell cordovan in vegetable tanning) has an average lifespan of 3–5 years with daily wear, depending on sun exposure, humidity and frequency of contact with abrasive surfaces. Shell cordovan tends to last longer due to its structural density. Periodic maintenance (cleaning and conditioning with specialist products) significantly extends the strap's useful life.
