Strap for Carrera Date 36 Stainless Steel / Pink

The lug width (misura ansa) of the TAG Heuer Carrera WBN2313.BA0001 is 20mm. This measurement represents the internal distance between the two spring bar pins on the case and is the historical standard for classic 36mm Carrera models. To verify with precision, use a digital calliper and measure between the pins: it should read exactly 20mm to ensure compatibility with quality artisanal straps.

The best strap depends on your personal style. For classical elegance, we recommend black alligator with subtle grain or vegetable-tanned leather that develops patina over time. For versatility and durability, shell cordovan offers exceptional longevity (beyond 5 years of regular wear) with superior structural density. For daily and light sports use, a cotton nato in grey or FKM rubber provides practicality without aesthetic compromise. Atelier Casati Milano personalises every strap according to your material, colour, and stitching preferences.

To change the strap, obtain a spring bar tool. Position the watch face-up, insert the flat end of the tool under the spring bar pin and push upward until the spring gives way. Repeat for the opposite pin. Remove the old strap and insert the new one, aligning the holes with the lugs. Press the first pin into the spring, then the second, verifying that both are firmly seated. The entire process takes less than a minute with practice. For those preferring professional assistance, Casati Milano offers this service with precision guarantee.

Yes, any strap with a 20mm lug width is compatible. Artisanal straps from milanostraps.it are crafted from superior quality leather (alligator, calf, shell cordovan) and can be personalised in length, colour, and stitching details specifically for your WBN2313.BA0001. Always verify that the strap is cut for 20mm lugs and that the holes align with the spring bar pin placement on your case.

Durability depends on material and usage patterns. Vegetable-tanned calf lasts approximately 2-3 years with daily wear, developing desirable patina over time. Alligator, being denser, reaches 3-4 years before showing significant wear. Shell cordovan is the most durable material: it easily surpasses 5 years of regular use thanks to its natural fibrous structure. FKM rubber withstands beyond 6 years in normal conditions without aesthetic deterioration. All Casati Milano straps benefit from an 18-month warranty against manufacturing defects and anomalous wear.
