Strap for Carrera Skipper Glass Box Stainless Steel / Blue

The TAG Heuer Carrera CBS2213.FN6002 features a lug width of 20mm. This is the internal distance between the lugs on the case where the strap attaches. It is essential to verify this measurement before purchasing a replacement strap, as 20mm is the only size compatible with this model.

We recommend a fine-grain alligator strap in dark tones (black or brown) for the CBS2213.FN6002, as it enhances the sporty-elegant aesthetic of the chronograph. Alternatively, vegetable-tanned calf leather in cognac brown offers natural patina and noble ageing. For more casual wear, rubber or NATO fabric maintain the Carrera's sporting character.

The procedure requires a specialised tool to remove the bayonet spring bars at both ends of the case. Position the watch on a soft pad, insert the extractor tip into the small slot to release the spring, then free the old strap from the lugs. Align the new strap holes with the springs and press until you hear a click. If unfamiliar with the process, entrust the task to a professional watchmaker.

Yes, provided the lug width is precisely 20mm. Artisanal Milan Straps are specifically crafted for this measurement and guarantee full compatibility with the CBS2213.FN6002. We recommend selecting straps with construction quality equivalent to the original (noble leathers, robust stitching, precise finishing) to maintain the aesthetic and functional integrity of the watch.

Longevity depends on the leather type and usage frequency. A quality artisanal alligator or calf strap typically lasts 3–5 years of daily wear, potentially longer if alternated with other straps. Wear develops naturally and pleasantly: leather softens and develops patina. Regular maintenance (gentle cleaning, protection from excessive moisture) extends lifespan. Casati Milano straps carry an 18-month warranty against manufacturing defects.
