Strap for Carrera Calibre Heuer 02 45 Stainless Steel - Diamond / Japan

The TAG Heuer Carrera CBG2A12.FC6450 features a 20mm lug width. This measurement is critical for selecting an aftermarket strap: any replacement strap must be exactly 20mm wide to ensure proper fitment on the case and maintain proportional aesthetics.

For this 45mm stainless steel case, alligator leather in vegetable tanning is the most versatile choice: it delivers formal elegance whilst maintaining the chronograph's sporting character. Shell cordovan is also excellent for those seeking leather with natural patina and exceptional longevity. For intensive conditions, vegetable-tanned calf leather provides robustness and prominent grain texture.

To change the strap, you must remove the spring bars (or use a dedicated spring bar tool) to free the previous strap. The 20mm lug accepts straps with plain terminals (non-integrated deployante). We recommend having a professional complete this task or following detailed video tutorials to avoid case damage.

Yes, aftermarket straps in 20mm width are fully compatible. It is essential that total length be calibrated to your wrist size (distance between lug attachments plus 2-3cm overlap). Milanostraps.it offers personalisation in size, colour and thread colour to guarantee perfect compatibility.

Lifespan depends on daily usage and leather quality. Alligator or shell cordovan straps can last 3-5 years with regular maintenance (monthly cleaning, conditioning every 4-6 months). Vegetable-tanned calf, being more porous, typically lasts 2-3 years if frequently exposed to humidity. Casati Milano's two-year warranty covers construction defects and seams.
