Strap for 1926 39 Stainless Steel / Rose Gold / Silver

The lug width of the Tudor 1926 91551-0001 is 21 millimetres. This is a specific, non-standard measurement that does not correspond to the common 20 mm or 22 mm specifications. Measurement should be taken at the spring bar attachment point on the case lugs.

The ideal strap depends on intended use. For formal contexts, we recommend black polished alligator or medium-brown shell cordovan. For daily wear, vegetable-tanned calf with natural patina or high-quality nitrile rubber ensure comfort and aesthetic evolution over time. Selection must account for the rose gold-stainless steel contrast of the case.

The Tudor 1926 91551-0001 uses standard spring bars. The procedure requires a specialised tool (spring bar tool) to compress the bar and extract it from its seat. The new strap must be inserted ensuring the bar clicks correctly into both lugs. If uncertain, the operation can be performed by a watchmaker.

Yes. High-end aftermarket straps (quality leather, manual craftsmanship, refined finishes) are compatible with the 21 mm lug width of the 91551-0001. It is essential to verify that the strap is specifically constructed for 21 mm width and that spring bars are correctly dimensioned for Tudor lug seats.

Leather strap durability depends on material and use. Alligator can last 8–12 years with regular maintenance. Shell cordovan, due to fibre density, can exceed 10 years. Vegetable-tanned calf, subject to natural patina, typically remains functional for 5–7 years before replacement is required. Rubber extends to 3–5 years.
