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

The lug width of the TAG Heuer Carrera WAR2413.BA0770 is 20mm. This is the distance between the two lug holes where the strap attaches to the case. To verify, place a ruler between the two holes: you will confirm that any 20mm-sized strap is compatible with this case.

The best strap depends on your intended use and aesthetic preferences. Alligator in cognac or black tones represents the most versatile choice: the natural texture of the reptile skin amplifies the sporty character, and vegetable tanning ensures visible ageing. English calf Connolly offers tactile softness and natural fragrance. NATO in technical polypropylene is ideal for quick transitions between formal and urban registers. All these materials are available in 20mm sizes.

To change the strap, you need a spring bar removal tool: position the flat tip under the lug, press gently inward on the case to release the internal spring, then slide the lug outward. Repeat on the other lug. To install the new strap, align the holes of the new strap with the case lugs and press until the spring clicks. If you lack confidence, consult a specialist atelier like Casati Milano to avoid scratching the case.

Absolutely yes. Any strap with a 20mm lug width is compatible with the TAG Heuer Carrera WAR2413.BA0770. High-quality aftermarket straps such as alligator with vegetable tanning or English calf often offer superior ageing and comfort compared to standard options, allowing you to personalise your timepiece without aesthetic or functional compromise.

The lifespan of a natural leather strap depends on frequency of use, sun exposure, and humidity. A high-quality vegetable-tanned alligator strap maintains functionality and aesthetics for 3-5 years of daily wear. English calf has similar longevity. Natural ageing develops patina and deeper colour: this is not deterioration but acquired character. Casati Milano guarantees 18 months on all made-to-measure straps, covering manufacturing defects.
