Strap for 1926 28 Stainless Steel / Rose Gold / Black / Strap

The lug width of the Tudor 1926 91351-0007 is 15mm. This measurement refers to the distance between the two metal pins (lugs) on the watch case where the strap attaches. It is a non-standard width, typical of vintage models and Heritage reinterpretations, requiring careful selection of compatible aftermarket straps.

We recommend an alligator strap with fine grain and vegetable tanning in dark brown, black, or burgundy for the Tudor 1926 91351-0007. These materials respect the aesthetic balance of the two-tone case and develop a natural patina over time. Alternatively, burgundy shell cordovan offers extraordinary durability and colour evolution. For sport configurations, a thick rubber strap with steel passant guarantees practicality without aesthetic compromise.

To change a strap, position the watch on a soft surface. Use a springbar tool to gently compress the internal spring pin on one lug, then remove the strap from the case. Repeat the process on the opposite lug. To install a new strap, insert the spring bar into the first lug and compress with the springbar tool, then fit the strap into the opposite lug. Verify that both pins are securely positioned. For the Tudor 1926 at 28mm, the tool must be suitable for 15mm lugs.

Yes, provided the strap is specifically constructed for 15mm lugs. The Tudor 1926 uses a non-standard lug width, so it is essential to verify technical specifications before purchase. Custom-made artisanal straps are the ideal solution: they allow you to choose the material, buckle finish, thread colour, and personalised length based on wrist circumference. A wide selection of ready-made straps for this lug size is available online.

A quality leather strap, crafted from vegetable-tanned alligator or shell cordovan, has an average lifespan of 5-7 years in daily use, with the potential to extend to 8-10 years with proper care. Longevity depends on intensity of use, exposure to moisture and direct sunlight, and sewing quality. The patina that develops over time is a sign of natural ageing, not deterioration. A strap with an 18-month warranty from a specialist atelier guarantees superior construction standards and future repair possibilities.
