Strap for Heritage Black Bay Blue Manufacture / Fabric

The Tudor Black Bay 79230B-0006 features a 22mm lug width, measured as the internal distance between the two case lugs. This precise standard allows for the use of high-quality artisanal straps without compromises in fit and comfort.

The choice depends on intended use. For diving, an FKM rubber or technical NATO strap ensures functionality and durability. For civilian daily wear, vegetable-tanned calf leather offers discreet elegance and evolving patina. Alligator is inadvisable: a diving watch should not be burdened with excess aesthetic luxury.

Place the watch on a soft surface. Using a spring bar removal tool (or carefully, a toothpick), gently push the spring bar upward from beneath on both sides. Once removed, the strap will come free. Reassembly follows the reverse process: align the lug apertures and reintroduce the spring bars.

Yes, any strap with a 22mm lug width is compatible. Milano Straps offers artisanal <a href="https://milanostraps.it/collections/cinturini-orologi-per-misura-ansa-22mm">22mm lug width straps</a> ready from stock. Casati Milano atelier also creates bespoke straps with direct material selection and customisation (initials, thread colour).

A vegetable-tanned calf strap lasts approximately 18–24 months under intense daily use (manual work, humid environments). FKM rubber exceeds 3 years. Vegetable tanning develops controlled creasing that increases its appeal; the strap ages with dignity. Casati Milano guarantees 18 months on all bespoke straps.
