Strap for Carrera Connected Modular 45 Titanium / Diamond Lugs / Diamond / White Rubber

The lug width of this Carrera model is 20 millimetres. This is the distance measured inside-to-inside between the case lugs. This dimension is standard for the 45mm model and is compatible with all straps certified for the 20mm lug width.

The choice depends on intended use. For formal elegance, we recommend black alligator or aged shell cordovan. For daily sports wear, vegetable-tanned calf or woven NATO ensure practicality and durability. The titanium and stainless steel composition of the Carrera permits versatile pairings from formal to casual.

The integrated case lug requires precision. Position the watch on a soft surface, use a spring bar tool specifically designed for sports watches, and gently remove the bottom pin. Insert the new strap by aligning the holes with the lugs, then restore the pin with fluid motion. If inexperienced, consult an authorised TAG Heuer service centre.

Yes, provided it is certified for 20mm lug width. High-quality artisanal straps guarantee geometric compatibility and durability superior to the integrated bracelet. We recommend straps treated with vegetable tannins and artisan finishes to maximise longevity and natural patina development.

With moderate use and regular maintenance, a quality leather strap lasts 2-4 years. Shell cordovan and vegetable-tanned alligator develop a prized patina over time. Factors such as sun exposure, perspiration, and humid environments accelerate ageing. An 18-month warranty is the standard for bespoke artisanal straps.
