Strap for Carrera Automatic 29 Stainless Steel / MOP - Diamond / Bracelet

The lug width is 20mm. This means that any compatible strap must measure 20mm between the lugs. You can verify this by measuring the distance between the two metal pins of the case with a digital caliper, ensuring you are perpendicular to the case.

It depends on your use case. Alligator is the choice for maximum elegance if you want to amplify the sports-refined character of the stainless steel case. Vegetable-tanned calf develops a natural patina over time and becomes a personal companion. Shell Cordovan leather offers unique porcelain-like lustre. For intense and sporty use, FKM rubber straps maintain colour and resist moisture and perspiration.

Place the watch face-up on a soft surface. Locate the two metal pins protruding laterally from the case beneath the strap. Using a spring bar tool (included or purchasable separately), insert the tip into the small hole/groove of the pin and gently press inward, compressing the spring. Once the pin is released from its seat, the old strap will slip off easily. Repeat on the other side. To install the new strap, align the strap holes with the pins, then press until you hear the spring lock click.

Yes, absolutely. Milano Straps offers high-quality artisanal leather straps (alligator, calf, Shell Cordovan) and technical fabrics, specifically crafted for 20mm lugs. Our straps are compatible with the original TAG Heuer pins and allow you to fully personalise your watch whilst keeping the warranty intact.

Durability depends on the quality of the leather and intensity of use. An artisanal quality alligator or calf strap lasts an average of 3-5 years with daily wear. If worn occasionally (2-3 times a week), it can last 7-10 years. Natural leather ages, developing a patina that actually increases its appeal. Milano Straps provides straps with an 18-month guarantee against manufacturing defects and offers regeneration and restoration services.
