Strap for Carrera Calibre 16 41 Stainless Steel / Silver / Bracelet

The TAG Heuer Carrera CV2017.BA0794 features a lug width of 20 mm. This is the precise distance between the lateral attachments of the case where the strap must fit. Do not confuse this measurement with the case diameter (41 mm): the lug width is the exclusive parameter for selecting a compatible strap.

For this model, alligator or premium calf leather represent luxury choices: they offer sophisticated aesthetics and exceptional longevity. If you prefer a sporty and versatile option, dense cotton NATO or FKM rubber straps ensure daily practicality. Shell cordovan, if available in 20 mm, combines formality with durability and a natural reddish patina.

The Carrera CV2017.BA0794 features an integrated H-link bracelet. To replace it with a 20 mm aftermarket strap, you need a spring bar tool. Gently push the tool into the lateral slots of the case to remove the metal lugs, then insert the lugs of the new strap. We recommend consulting a qualified watchmaker or Casati Milano atelier to ensure precision.

Yes, absolutely. The CV2017.BA0794 supports quality aftermarket straps with 20 mm lug width. Milano Straps offers a collection of compatible straps, customisable in leather, texture, colour and stitching thread. Casati Milano atelier also provides bespoke solutions with personalised follow-up and 18-month warranty.

Durability depends on material and daily use. An alligator or shell cordovan strap, with proper maintenance, easily exceeds 3-4 years of intensive wear. Calf leather worked with vegetable tanning typically lasts 2-3 years before showing evident wear. FKM rubber maintains its characteristics for 2-3 years. Milano Straps guarantees straps for 18 months and offers replacement services over time.
