Strap for 1926 28 Stainless Steel / Black / Strap

The lug width of the Tudor 1926 91350-0008 is 15mm. This dimension represents the internal width between the two lugs of the case and is the fundamental criterion for the compatibility of any aftermarket strap. A 15mm lug width requires straps with precisely defined thickness to ensure a tight fit without gaps or excessive pressure.

To maintain the elegant and dress character of the Tudor 1926 91350-0008, a strap in alligator or vegetable-tanned calf is recommended. Black or cognac alligator amplifies the formality of the stainless steel case, whilst calf with natural patina introduces tactile softness. Avoid sporty straps such as NATO or rubber, which significantly alter the character of the timepiece.

To change the strap on the Tudor 1926 91350-0008, a quality spring bar tool is required. Position the tool on the recessed tip of the spring bar, apply gentle pressure towards the inside of the case to retract the spring, and slide the old strap out of the lug. Repeat for the other side. Insert the spring bars into the new strap using the same method, ensuring both sides click firmly into place. If inexperienced, entrust the task to a professional watchmaker.

The lifespan of a leather strap depends on the quality of the leather and usage patterns. A high-quality alligator or vegetable-tanned calf strap, worn daily and subjected to proper maintenance (avoiding prolonged exposure to moisture and extreme heat), has an average lifespan of 8-12 years. The patina that develops over time adds character to the strap. Lower-quality straps may deteriorate within 3-5 years. The 18-month warranty on handcrafted straps from Casati Milano covers manufacturing defects and material flaws.
