Strap for Carrera Quartz 27 Stainless Steel / MOP - Diamond / Bracelet

The lug width of the TAG Heuer Carrera WV1417.BA0793 is 20mm. This measurement represents the distance between the two side lugs of the case where the strap attaches. It is essential to verify this dimension to ensure a precise fit of the strap to the integrated lugs of the model.

For the WV1417.BA0793, we recommend an alligator strap with natural tanning or dyed in black, brown, or burgundy. Alligator respects the sporting heritage of the Carrera whilst maintaining elegance proportionate to the 27mm case size. Shell cordovan is an excellent alternative if you prefer a patina that develops over time.

To change the strap, remove the side lugs using a spring bar tool. Position yourself perpendicular to the lugs and gently press inward to compress the spring, then remove the lug. Repeat on the other side. Insert the new strap by aligning the holes at the ends, then reinsert the lugs by applying pressure until they click into place.

Yes, the 20mm strap is compatible with any watch that has an identical lug width. However, the integrated lug design of the WV1417.BA0793 requires a strap with terminals of exact width to avoid lateral play. Before purchasing, verify that the strap is specifically designed for 20mm lugs.

Durability depends on leather quality and usage. A high-grade alligator strap or shell cordovan, with regular maintenance (gentle cleaning and conditioning treatments every 6-12 months), can last 5-7 years. A vegetable-tanned calf strap has similar longevity but develops visible patina within 1-2 years. Daily wear accelerates ageing; a strap for special occasions can last even longer.
