Frequently asked questions
What is the exact lug width of the Tudor 1926 91451-0002?
The lug width of the Tudor 1926 (Ref. 91451-0002) is precisely 19 millimetres. This dimension is specific to this model and is measured in the internal space between the two rear lugs of the case, where the strap inserts. Standard 18mm or 20mm straps cannot be fitted without aesthetic or functional compromise.
Which strap material is best suited to the Tudor 1926 91451-0002?
For the rose gold and stainless steel bicolour case, we recommend alligator straps with vegetable tanning (dark brown or leather tone) for maximum vintage aesthetic coherence. An excellent alternative is calf leather with natural patina in tobacco or burgundy tones. Shell cordovan offers density and lustre compatible with the satin-finished steel. Rubber should be avoided as it appears stylistically incongruent with the model's classical heritage.
How do I change the strap on a Tudor 1926 91451-0002?
The Tudor 1926 uses standard 1.8mm spring bars. Employ a spring bar tool to remove both lugs simultaneously, gently lifting the internal catch. Insert the new strap's spring bars in the correct sequence (following the lug orientation) and ensure they seat fully. Do not force: the 19mm width must fit with precision. If uncertain, entrust the operation to a professional.
Can I use an aftermarket strap from another brand on my Tudor 1926?
Yes, aftermarket straps are compatible provided they strictly respect the 19mm lug width specification. Specialist brands such as Milano Straps offer customisable straps constructed specifically for this dimension. Always verify technical specifications before purchase. Premium quality straps (alligator, calf, shell cordovan) will guarantee both aesthetic and functional compatibility with the model's sophistication.
How long does a leather strap last on a Tudor 1926?
A premium leather strap (alligator, calf, shell cordovan) with traditional tanning, worn daily, has an average lifespan of 5-7 years before replacement becomes necessary due to natural wear. The patina that develops over time represents an asset, not a defect. Proper maintenance—avoiding excessive moisture and protecting the strap from direct heat—can extend its longevity. Milano Straps provides an 18-month warranty on all artisanal straps.
