Strap for 1926 36 Stainless Steel / Silver - Diamond

The Tudor 1926 ref. 91450-0003 features a lug width of 19 millimetres. This dimension is specific to a select few Heritage Tudor models and requires precisely dimensioned straps. To verify, measure internally between the lugs using a digital calliper positioned perpendicular to the case.

Alligator represents the ideal choice for aesthetic coherence: natural grain and patina development over time fully respect the vintage character. Vegetable-tanned calf offers superior tactile body and predictable ageing. Shell cordovan imparts chromatic depth and natural sheen without gloss finish. For versatility, vulcanised rubber or NATO fabric emphasise the sportive-heritage character.

Remove the watch from your wrist. Using a spring bar tool, gently push the metal pin inward that secures the strap to the lower lug, extract the strap. Repeat for the upper lug. Insert the new strap by aligning the pins into the holes, press until audible click. Verify the strap is fully secured before wearing.

Yes, any strap manufactured with a 19-millimetre lug width is compatible. It is essential to select straps certified for this specific dimension, as 19mm is non-standard. Customisable online straps from Milano Straps are available in this size with options for material, colour and adjustable length.

A premium leather strap (alligator, cordovan, vegetable-tanned calf) typically lasts 3–5 years with daily wear, varying based on perspiration, humidity and maintenance. Vegetable leather develops protective patina over time. Standard warranty is 18 months. With periodic maintenance (light hydration, drying after humidity exposure), lifespan can extend towards 6–7 years.
