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

The lug width of the Tudor 1926 reference 91451-0006 is 19mm. This specification is exact and critical when purchasing an aftermarket strap. To verify, remove the original strap and measure the inner distance between the lug edges using a digital calliper.

The optimal strap depends on your watch casing. For Rose Gold & Steel, we recommend alligator in vegetable tanning or cordovan burgundy. For stainless steel only, you have greater chromatic latitude: deep black, Nile blue, even ivory on vintage dials. Priority is 19mm compatibility and tanning quality.

Strap replacement is straightforward. Position the watch on a flat surface, locate the lugs at 12 and 6 o'clock. Use a spring bar tool to compress the internal spring and extract the current strap. Verify the new strap is 19mm compatible, then insert by aligning the bar into the lugs until the definitive click. If uncertain, consult Casati Milano.

No. A 20mm strap will not enter 19mm lugs. Forcing it risks damage to both strap and lug. An 18.5mm strap will mount with unacceptable play. The 19mm specification is non-negotiable. Always verify this measurement before purchase.

Durability depends on wear frequency and tanning method. Premium vegetable-tanned alligator resists 5-7 years with regular rotation (minimum two straps); shell cordovan can exceed 10 years. Natural leather patinas and ages like the watch itself. Periodic maintenance—cleaning and conditioning with specialist creams—significantly extends strap lifespan.
