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

The lug width is precisely 19mm (19 millimetres). This dimension represents the internal distance between the lugs that anchor the strap to the case. Accurate measurement is essential to prevent friction and premature lug wear.

For the Tudor 1926 91451-0004, the optimal strap depends on use and colour preference. Alligator in mahogany-brown creates natural harmony with the rose gold and steel case; black alligator offers formal contrast; vegetable-tanned calf is the most versatile structural choice for daily wear. All straps must be manufactured specifically for 19mm lug width.

Remove the strap using a spring bar tool. Insert the bifurcated tip into the grooved slot of the spring bar, lift slightly to release the internal spring, and slide the bar out of the lug. Repeat on the opposite side. Take care not to lose the spring bars—they are critical components. Inexperienced users should have the operation performed by a competent watchmaker.

Yes, provided it is manufactured specifically for 19mm lug width. However, it is essential to verify that the thickness and width are proportionate to the 36mm case. An oversized or overly thick strap would create visual imbalance. We recommend bespoke artisanal straps manufactured to measure to ensure both structural and aesthetic compatibility.

Longevity depends on leather type, frequency of use, and maintenance. Premium alligator lasts 5-7 years with daily wear; vegetable-tanned calf lasts 3-5 years. Maintenance involves protecting against excessive moisture, avoiding prolonged immersion, and occasionally conditioning the leather with appropriate care products. After the first year, the leather develops natural patina that enhances its aesthetic appeal.
