Strap for Carrera Date 36 Stainless Steel / Silver

The lug width of the TAG Heuer Carrera WBN2310.BA0001 is 20mm, measured between the inner shoulders of the spring bars connecting the strap to the case. This measurement is fixed on this reference and guarantees perfect fit with any strap designed for 20mm.

The best strap depends on usage and personal preference. Alligator or shell cordovan in dark tones emphasise the luxury-sport character of the 36mm case; vegetable-tanned calf offers a conscious approach and develops natural patina over time; NATO canvas ensures versatility and practicality in informal settings. Your choice should consider chromatic contrast with the silver dial and daily comfort.

To change the strap, you need specific tools: a spring bar tool or small flathead screwdriver and tweezers. Position the watch face-up, identify the horizontal pins beneath the lugs, use the tool to compress the pin's internal spring slightly, then remove the pin from the case. Repeat on the opposite side. Next, insert the pins into the new strap and remount them into the case with a smooth motion, avoiding abrupt tugging that could damage the small holes.

Any artisanal or mass-produced strap with 20mm specification is compatible with the WBN2310.BA0001. Milano Straps offers leather, exotic hide (alligator, shell cordovan), NATO and technical rubber straps, all available with custom sizing, initials and stitching colour options. Always verify the lug width is exactly 20mm before purchase.

A quality leather strap with vegetable tanning typically lasts between 3 to 6 years with daily wear, depending on leather type and maintenance. Shell cordovan and alligator are more durable and can last 7-10 years. Longevity increases if the strap is worn in rotation, kept dry and occasionally treated with purpose-made balms. Milano Straps provides an 18-month warranty on all artisanal straps.
