Strap for Carrera Calibre 6 39 Stainless Steel / Black / Bracelet

The lug width of the TAG Heuer Carrera WAR2110.BA0787 is 20 millimetres. This measurement corresponds to the distance between the spring bars that connect the strap to the lugs of the case. Accurate measurement is essential to ensure perfect compatibility with any aftermarket strap.

The best strap depends on your intended use. For formal elegance, we recommend alligator in vegetable tanning in black or dark brown, which emphasises the rationality of the design. For daily wear, Tuscany calf offers versatility and comfort. For sporty contexts, a NATO in ballistic canvas or vulcanised rubber reflects the racing heritage of the Carrera. Shell cordovan represents the choice for those seeking an evolving patina over time.

To change the strap, you will need a spring bar removal tool and a new 20-millimetre strap. Insert the flat tip of the tool into the opening beneath the lug, apply light pressure to compress the internal spring, then slide the spring bar outward. Repeat on both sides. Install the new strap by reversing the operation, ensuring the spring bar is fully seated in both lug slots.

Original TAG Heuer straps are produced by the brand and guarantee certified compatibility. Compatible aftermarket straps from specialist suppliers such as Milano Straps meet exact specifications (20mm) and often offer greater customisation in materials and finishes. The build quality of an artisanal strap, crafted in certified alligator, calf, or shell cordovan, can equal or exceed the standard product, with the advantage of bespoke creation and extended warranties.

The lifespan of a leather strap depends on material quality, frequency of use, and maintenance. A high-quality alligator or calf strap, properly cared for, maintains integrity and appearance for 3–5 years of intensive wear. Vegetable tanning develops a patina that increases aesthetic value over time. Protect the strap from excessive moisture, sweat, and direct sunlight to prolong its useful life. Milano Straps offers replacement guarantee within 18 months from material defect.
