Strap for 1926 41 Stainless Steel / Rose Gold / Silver / Strap

The lug width (lug-to-lug distance) of the Tudor 1926 91651-0005 is 22 millimetres. This is the measurement between the two lateral attachment pins where the strap attaches to the case. Precise measurement is essential to ensure correct compatibility of any aftermarket strap.

For the Tudor 1926 91651-0005, straps in high-quality natural materials are recommended: alligator leather (for maximum elegance with characteristic texture), vegetable-tanned calf (for patina evolution over time), or shell cordovan (for structural rigidity and natural lustre). All these materials enhance the understated aesthetic of the dress watch without compromising on build quality.

Strap changing requires a specialised tool: a spring bar tool. Carefully insert the blade into the gap between the lug and the keeper, gently lift the elastic pin and remove the old strap. Insert the new strap by aligning the keeper with the pins, ensuring they click into position. Avoid excessive force to prevent damage to the lugs or keeper.

Yes, quality aftermarket straps can be fitted to this model, provided they have the correct 22mm lug width. Milano Straps offers online a specialised collection of compatible 22mm straps, some fully customisable in length, initials and stitching thread choice. Always verify technical specifications before purchase.

The lifespan of a leather strap varies depending on frequency of use, climate and material quality. A high-quality leather strap (alligator, cordovan, vegetable-tanned leather) worn daily typically lasts 3-5 years. With occasional use and proper maintenance (protection from excessive moisture, periodic cleaning), the lifespan can extend to 7-8 years. Casati Milano atelier provides an 18-month warranty on all custom straps.
