Strap for 1926 36 Stainless Steel / Rose Gold / Silver

The lug width of the Tudor 1926 reference 91451-0001 is 19 millimetres. This measurement represents the internal distance between the two case lugs and is essential for identifying compatible straps correctly. To verify with precision, use a digital calliper, measuring from the inner point of one lug to the inner point of the opposite lug.

For the Tudor 1926 91451-0001, we recommend alligator in cognac or dark brown tones for formal wear, vegetable-tanned leather for daily evolving patina, or shell cordovan in mahogany brown for those seeking progressive patina development over time. The choice depends on usage: formal (alligator), daily (leather), generational investment (cordovan).

To change the strap: position the watch face-down on a soft cloth. Use a spring bar remover tool to gently prise the lugs anticlockwise. Extract the metal pin completely from one side, then slide the strap upward to free the lug from the case. Insert the new strap from the opposite side, reinsert the pin in its seating and tighten gently clockwise until you feel slight friction.

Yes. The Tudor 1926 91451-0001 accepts any aftermarket strap with a 19-millimetre lug width. Verify that the strap is fitted with functioning spring bars or that your jeweller can insert new pins. Reputable aftermarket brands such as Hirsch, Bonetto Cinturini and artisanal productions are fully compatible with this model.

The lifespan of a leather strap depends on material and usage: alligator and cordovan last 8–12 years with daily wear, whilst leather lasts 5–8 years. Deterioration is natural and linked to material wear, not manufacturing defects. The quality of vegetable tanning extends durability and creates desirable patina. Industrially tanned leathers have slightly shorter lifespan, 4–6 years.
