Strap for Carrera Calibre 9 28 Stainless Steel / Black / Bracelet

The lug width of the TAG Heuer Carrera WAR2410.BA0770 is 20mm. This dimension is measured as the distance between the two spring bars protruding from the case. Verifying this measurement before purchasing a strap is essential to ensure compatibility and proper fit on the wrist.

For the 28mm Carrera with 20mm lugs, alligator remains the most versatile choice: its vertical grain and durability make it ideal for daily wear and formal occasions. Valid alternatives include vegetable-tanned calf leather for those desiring a patina that evolves over time, and NATO fabric for those preferring authentic sportiness and maximum practicality.

Changing the strap is a simple operation: using a dedicated spring bar removal tool, gently push inward to release the pin from its housing. Once removed, the old strap slides away. To install the new one, align the lug with both pins and gently push until the spring mechanism clicks into place. If unsure, a specialist craftsman can complete the operation in minutes.

Yes, the WAR2410.BA0770 is compatible with any 20mm strap available on the market. Quality aftermarket straps offer greater customisation freedom than the original bracelet: you can choose materials, colours and finishes according to your preferences and occasion. Always verify that the strap features spring bars (lugs) of the correct dimension.

The lifespan of a leather strap depends on the material, usage and care. Premium-quality alligator lasts 3-5 years of daily wear; vegetable-tanned calf persists 2-4 years before requiring replacement. Exposure to water, humidity and intense sunlight reduces longevity. By keeping the strap dry and clean regularly, and storing it in a dry environment, the useful life of the band is significantly prolonged.
