Strap for 1926 41 Stainless Steel / Silver

The Tudor 1926 91650-0001 features a lug width of 22mm. This measurement is standard for dress watches with a 41mm case and must be measured between the inner edges of the lugs using a ruler or calliper. Always verify this dimension before purchasing an aftermarket strap to ensure a precise fit without play or looseness.

We recommend straps in alligator leather (vegetable-tanned for sustainability) or vegetable-tanned calf leather in hues that complement your dial: cognac brown, bordeaux or black for dark dials; light brown or honey for champagne dials. Alligator offers a natural lustre that develops beautifully with age, whilst calf leather provides robustness and versatile texture.

Strap replacement requires removing the spring bars—the small springs inside the lugs. Use a spring bar tool to gently compress the spring on one side and extract the pin. Repeat for the other side. When reinserting the new strap, ensure both spring bars align perfectly and click firmly into position. If unfamiliar with the procedure, consult a trusted watchmaker.

Yes, any strap with a 22mm lug width is compatible. However, ensure that the strap's holes align precisely with your case lugs and that the leather quality befits the watch's calibre. Custom-made artisanal straps allow you to personalise width, thickness and stitching to your exact specifications.

A quality vegetable-tanned leather strap, with regular maintenance (periodic cleaning and conditioning with natural oils), typically lasts 2–4 years with daily wear. Longevity depends on physical activity, ambient humidity and care habits. Part-time use (formal occasions) can extend lifespan to 5–7 years or beyond.
