Strap for 1926 28 Stainless Steel / Black

The lug width (ansa measurement) of the Tudor 1926 91350-0002 is 15mm. This value represents the internal distance between the lugs and is essential for selecting a compatible strap. Always verify the measurement with a digital calliper before purchasing, placing the tool between the case lugs to ensure millimetre precision.

For the Tudor 1926, we recommend a strap in natural alligator leather with vegetable tanning, which emphasises the classic and sophisticated aesthetic of the watch. Alternatively, smooth calfskin in cognac or grey NATO fabric offer versatility whilst maintaining visual balance. Your choice depends on daily use and dial colour.

The Tudor 1926 uses standard spring bars. Obtain a spring bar removal tool and a magnifying lens. Position the watch on a soft surface, insert the tool into the bar's extraction hole, gently push to release the internal hook and remove the bar. Repeat on the other side. Insert the new strap the same way, ensuring the bar clicks fully into the lugs.

Yes, but with caution. Any strap with a 15mm lug width is theoretically compatible, but construction quality and materials vary greatly. We recommend straps from specialist manufacturers that guarantee precise tolerances, clean finishing and durable materials. A poorly constructed strap could damage the case lugs over time.

Durability depends on material and usage. An alligator strap with vegetable tanning lasts 3-5 years under moderate daily wear, developing a characteristic patina. Calfskin lasts 2-4 years. Natural rubber straps have greater longevity (5-7 years), whilst NATO fabric lasts indefinitely but requires regular cleaning. Rotating between multiple straps extends the life of each one.
