Strap for 1926 41 Stainless Steel / White

The Tudor 1926 (ref. 91650-0011) features a 22mm lug width. This measurement is the distance between the two lugs of the case where the strap attaches. To verify it, place a ruler from the inner centre of one lug to the inner centre of the other. Precise measurement is essential when ordering a compatible strap.

For the Tudor 1926, alligator remains the most refined choice: its natural grain and subtle texture perfectly reflect the dress watch spirit of this watch. Recommended shades: pure black, burgundy-tabac, or dark brown. An elegant alternative is vegetable-tanned calf leather, which develops a natural patina over time. Avoid rubber and synthetic fabrics, which would betray the formal identity of the model.

Strap changing requires a spring bar tool. Position the tool in the lateral spaces of the spring, gently press until the spring compresses, and extract the lug from the housing. Reverse the process with the new strap. If you lack experience, consult a professional watchmaker to avoid the risk of scratching the case.

Yes, any strap with a 22mm lug width is compatible. Milano Straps' artisanal 22mm straps, customizable in leather, texture, and colour, fit the Tudor 1926 perfectly. Always verify that the lug width is indeed 22mm and that the strap thickness (typically 3.5–4mm) is proportionate to the case.

A quality leather strap (alligator, calf, shell cordovan) typically lasts 3–5 years with daily wear, provided correct maintenance: avoid prolonged moisture exposure, clean with a soft cloth, condition with neutral wax every 12–18 months. Leather is a living material; the patina that develops is inherent to its nature and increases aesthetic value over time.
