Frequently asked questions

Can I fit a standard strap on the TAG Heuer Carrera CBN2A1AA.FT6228?

No. The bracelet is integrated into the case—there's no standard spring bar attachment. I've seen many DIY attempts that damage the case. The only sensible approach is having a custom strap built directly in the workshop.

How does the bespoke strap process work for this Carrera?

We work by appointment only at <a href="/pages/casati-booking">Casati Milano</a>. I take measurements directly from your case, no calculations on paper. The strap is built to fit your specific watch perfectly.

Which leather do you recommend for the TAG Heuer Carrera CBN2A1AA.FT6228?

I prefer vegetable-tanned leather like vachetta or cordovan. This watch is racing, technical, sporty—a leather that ages showing character, developing natural patina, dialogues well with the ceramic and steel. No synthetic leathers that flake away.

How long does a well-made strap last?

It depends on use. With quality leather and ordinary care—don't soak it unnecessarily, let it breathe—a strap lasts 5 to 7 years, often longer. Good leather ages beautifully, develops patina, tells the story of whoever wears it.

Why was this Carrera born in 1963?

TAG Heuer designed it to celebrate the Carrera Panamericana, the Mexican motorsports race. It's an instrument built for those who race, with speed in its blood. The integrated bracelet, the 44mm case, its entire architecture reflects that racing heritage even today.
