Strap for 1926 39 Stainless Steel / Rose Gold / White / Strap

The Tudor 1926 (reference 91551-0010) is fitted with 21mm lugs. This dimension is specific to the 39mm case model and ensures correct proportions between the case and strap. To verify compatibility, measure the distance between the lug holes on your case: it must correspond exactly to 21mm for optimal fitment without misalignment.

For the rose gold version, deep brown alligator or black shell cordovan deliver maximum aesthetic harmony, complementing the warm metal tone. For the steel variant, vegetable-tanned calf leather in burgundy, medium brown, or black offers versatility and natural ageing. Shell cordovan, in particular, develops an extraordinary patina over time, ideal for those who appreciate material evolution.

The procedure is identical to any watch: place the 91551-0010 on a soft cushion or dedicated support. Use a spring bar tool to gently compress the internal elastic pin and remove the old strap from the lugs. Insert the new 21mm strap by aligning the elastic pin in the opposite slot and release compression. Verify that the strap rests evenly on both case horns.

Yes, any strap with 21mm lug width is compatible. However, to preserve the aesthetic integrity of the 91551-0010, we recommend quality materials: alligator, shell cordovan, or vegetable-tanned calf. Avoid synthetic leather or inferior materials, which contrast sharply with the refinement of the T601 movement and rose gold or steel case.

Longevity depends on leather quality, daily use, and climate conditions. A premium shell cordovan or alligator strap retains structural integrity for 5–8 years with sporadic wear. Frequent water exposure and UV radiation accelerate deterioration. With regular maintenance—gentle cleaning and protective cream application every 3–4 months—durability increases significantly. Vegetable-tanned leather straps develop a noble patina that naturally conceals wear marks.
