Strap for 1926 41 Stainless Steel / White - Diamond

The Tudor 1926 91650-0013 features a lug width of 22mm. This measurement refers to the space between the two lugs of the case—the distance where the strap is inserted. It is the standard width for 41mm watches with this specific design.

The best choice depends on intended use: Mississippi alligator delivers classic dress watch aesthetics with well-defined grain; vegetable-tanned calf or dark brown shell cordovan offer conscious everyday wear with natural patina development over time; technical fabrics or rubber suit modern sports orientation. Selection hinges on chromatic harmony with the dial and occasion.

The strap is changed via the lugs of the case. Using a dedicated tool or small flathead screwdriver, gently press from the rear of the lug to release tension; slide out the old strap by removing the pin; position the new strap correctly and reinsert the pin, ensuring it locks firmly. The operation demands care to avoid scratching the case.

Yes, any strap with a 22mm lug width is compatible. Quality aftermarket straps from experienced artisans often surpass original factory straps in leather quality, craftsmanship, and durability. Always verify the lug width is precisely 22mm—even a 1-2mm deviation results in poor fit.

A quality leather strap (alligator, calf, shell cordovan) typically lasts 3-5 years under daily wear with proper care (water protection, periodic cleaning, thorough drying). Longevity depends on tanning method, intensity of use, and environmental humidity. A vegetable-tanned strap ages gracefully, developing patina; visible deterioration signals natural wear, not defect.
