Strap for Carrera Connected Modular 45 Titanium / Diamond / Black Calf

The lug width of the SBF8A8011.11FT6079 is 20mm. This measurement is taken between the two internal lugs (pins) that attach the strap to the case. All straps compatible with a 20mm lug width will fit this model perfectly without any modifications.

The best strap depends on your intended use and personal aesthetic preferences. For sports and daily wear: black alligator or natural vegetable-tanned leather with vegetable tanning. For formal elegance: shell cordovan or cognac-coloured leather. For practicality and reversibility: NATO nylon ballistic strap. The titanium and ceramic case accommodates any colour choice with balanced optical proportions.

Changing the strap on a 45mm Carrera is a delicate operation that requires specific tools. Use a spring bar tool to carefully remove the spring bars that attach the strap to the case lugs. Proceed slowly to avoid scratching the titanium and ceramic surfaces. Verify that the new strap is compatible with a 20mm lug width. If uncertain, consult a professional watchmaker or contact Casati Milano.

It is essential to verify that the lug width is exactly 20mm and that the spring bars are compatible with the TAG Heuer case lugs.

A quality artisanal leather strap on a sports watch like the Carrera lasts between 18 and 36 months with daily wear, depending on the leather type (natural calf more delicate; alligator and shell cordovan more durable). Longevity increases if the strap is not exposed to excessive perspiration or salt water without prompt drying. Milano Straps offers an 18-month warranty on Casati Milano straps; replacement is always possible whilst maintaining the same 20mm lug width.
