Strap for 1926 36 Stainless Steel / Black - Diamond / Strap

The lug width of the Tudor 1926 91450-0009 is 19 mm, a specific dimension that reflects the model's historical proportions. It is important to verify this measurement by measuring the distance between the inner lugs of the case before purchasing a compatible strap.

Alligator in dark brown or black tones is the classic choice, thanks to its natural grain and patina development over time. Calf leather offers a contemporary alternative with uniform texture and simplified maintenance. For a 36 mm case, fabric NATO and structured rubber are also refined and functional options.

To change the strap, you must remove the spring bars from the case lugs using a specific tool (spring bar tool). The bars are gently extracted from the lug holes, the previous strap separates, and the new strap (with 19 mm lug width) is inserted by first seating one end, then the other. We recommend consulting a professional watchmaker if you do not possess the specific tool.

No, absolutely not. The 19 mm lug width is binding: a 20 mm strap will not fit correctly in the lug holes and risks damaging both the strap and the case. It is essential to respect the 19 mm specification, which ensures correct structural and aesthetic compatibility.

The lifespan of a leather strap depends on the material and usage. High-quality alligator with thick leather (1.4–1.6 mm) and vegetable tanning can last 5–7 years of daily use before replacement is necessary. Calf leather, with thinner gauge, typically lasts 3–5 years. Periodic maintenance (gentle cleaning, protection from excessive moisture) significantly extends strap life.
