Strap for Carrera Calibre Heuer 02 45 Stainless Steel / Black Ceramic / Skeleton / Calf

The lug width of the TAG Heuer Carrera CBG2A10.FT6169 is 20mm. This measurement represents the internal space between the two straight lugs where the spring bar is inserted. Always verify this measurement with a digital caliper before ordering an aftermarket strap to ensure structural compatibility.

The optimal strap choice depends on use case: for formal elegance, black or dark brown alligator with vegetable tanning creates sophisticated contrast against the ceramic and steel case; for daily versatility, FKM rubber on a stainless steel deployant clasp absorbs impacts and maintains visual coherence; for minimalism, glossy black calf leather remains the most refined choice. The Casati Milano atelier personalises each solution with direct consultation.

Obtain a spring bar tool (Y-shaped screwdriver or dedicated extractor). Position the watch on a soft surface (microfibre cloth) with the lug side facing upward. Insert the tool into the small holes on either side of the lug and push laterally to release the spring bar. Once removed, align the new strap's holes and push the spring bar until it clicks. Repeat for both lugs. If uncertain, Casati Milano offers strap-change service by appointment.
