Strap for Carrera Quartz 36 Stainless Steel / Black / Bracelet

The lug width of the TAG Heuer Carrera WBG1311.BA0758 is 20mm. This dimension allows you to pair your timepiece with a broad selection of aftermarket straps, as 20mm is a classical standard in sports and dress watchmaking.

For the Carrera WBG1311.BA0758, we recommend natural alligator for formal occasions, shell cordovan for those who appreciate vintage sportiness, or vegetable-tanned calf for daily versatility. The 36mm stainless steel case demands proportionate balance: we favour thicknesses between 3 and 4mm with finishes that let the steel's luminosity dominate.

To replace the strap, use a spring bar tool with two metal tips. Insert the tips into the lateral spaces beneath the lug, push towards the centre to release the elastic pin, and remove the old strap. Repeat symmetrically on the opposite side. Install the new strap by reversing this procedure, ensuring the pins engage perfectly into the lug seats.

Yes, provided the lug width is precisely 20mm. Milanostraps.it sells exclusively 20mm-compatible straps for your model, ready for dispatch and customisable in length, initials, and thread colour. Atelier Casati Milano also creates bespoke straps with personally selected leather and 18-month warranty.

A high-quality artisanal leather strap typically lasts 3-5 years with responsible daily use. Durability depends on leather type: shell cordovan is among the most resilient (up to 7-8 years), alligator rare leather lasts 4-6 years, vegetable-tanned calf 3-4 years. The ageing of leather is natural and desirable: the patina that forms is the signature of your time with the watch.
