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

The lug width of the TAG Heuer Carrera WAR2417.BA0776 is 20 millimetres. This specific lug width requires dedicated straps: always verify by measuring the internal lug width with a calliper, from wall to wall, excluding the edges. Incorrect measurement results in incompatibility.

For this model, we recommend straps in alligator leather in tobacco brown or hazelnut tones, which harmonise naturally with the brushed finish of the stainless steel case. Vegetable-tanned leather offers an elegant alternative for those desiring a patina that develops over time. Premium canvas NATO provides a contemporary casual option.

The WAR2417.BA0776 requires extraction of the spring bars from the lug seats. Use a dedicated spring bar tool to compress the spring and release the end from the seats, working carefully to avoid scratching the case. Once the lugs are freed, remove the old strap and insert the new one, ensuring the spring bars return correctly to both lug positions.

Yes, any strap with a lug width conforming to 20 millimetres is compatible with the WAR2417.BA0776. However, verify that the spring bars have been correctly removed from the original bracelet: the aftermarket strap must accommodate the same spring bars without case modifications.

A quality artisanal alligator or leather strap lasts approximately 3–5 years with daily wear, depending on climate, frequency of use and maintenance. Prolonged exposure to sunlight, fresh water and contaminants accelerates deterioration. With periodic treatments and environmental protection, longevity can extend further.
