Strap for 1926 36 Stainless Steel / Rose Gold / Black

The lug width (ansa width) of the Tudor 1926 91451-0003 is 19 millimetres. This specific measurement represents the horizontal distance between the centres of the two lugs on the case. It is important to verify this measurement precisely using a digital calliper to avoid incompatible purchases, as 18mm or 20mm straps will not provide the correct fit.

For the two-tone rose gold and stainless steel configuration, we recommend an alligator strap in dark brown (cognac tone) that enhances the rose gold colour, or a vegetable-tanned calf strap that develops a natural patina over time. For sports use, a NATO strap in cotton-linen with a tight weave offers authentic vintage aesthetics. Avoid pale colours that narrow the wrist visually and saturated colours that compete with the case.

To change the strap, proceed as follows: 1) Position the watch on a soft surface with the dial facing downward. 2) Locate the spring bars that hold the strap to the case lugs. 3) Use a spring bar tool (thin lever tool) to compress the internal spring of the bar. 4) Remove the old bar and insert the new strap. 5) Verify that the bar is fully seated. If you feel uncertain, contact Casati Milano to perform the operation professionally.

Yes, but with the essential condition that the strap is constructed for 19mm lugs. Many quality straps are available online or from specialist craftsmen with this specific measurement. MilanoStraps offers 19mm straps customizable in leather and different materials. Always verify that the lug width is compatible: not all 19mm straps are equal in terms of thickness and construction quality.

A high-quality alligator or calf strap with vegetable tanning and artisanal construction has an average lifespan of 3-5 years with moderate daily use. Durability depends on sun exposure, humidity, how frequently you wear it, and maintenance. A leather treated periodically with neutral balms may last longer. Casati Milano's atelier offers an 18-month warranty on made-to-measure straps, with restoration and repair services available.
