Strap for Tudor Black Bay Chronograph 79350

The Tudor Black Bay Chronograph 79350 features a lug width of 22mm. This measurement is specific to this model and ensures precise strap compatibility. To verify correct measurement, use a digital calliper to measure the distance between the inner lug shoulders: the value should fall between 21.8 and 22.2mm.

For the 79350, we recommend three primary options depending on use case: alligator for formal contexts (with elegant grain pattern), vegetable-tanned or racing calf for versatile daily wear (developing natural patina over time), vulcanised rubber or high-density cotton NATO for sport and maritime applications. Each material creates distinct personality whilst maintaining aesthetic coherence with the 41mm case.

The 79350 employs a standard spring bar system. Proceed as follows: use a dedicated spring bar tool to gently push the spring inward from the top of the lug, releasing the strap from the lug shoulder. Repeat for the opposite side. To fit the new strap, insert the bar ends into the lug shoulders and press the spring bar until you hear the engagement click. Verify the strap is securely fastened before wearing the watch.

Yes, any strap featuring a 22mm lug width is compatible with the 79350. High-quality aftermarket straps—whether crafted in alligator, calf, shell cordovan or rubber—offer superior aesthetic and tactile personalisation compared to the original strap. Always verify correct lug measurement (21.8–22.2mm) to prevent mechanical stress on the lugs.

Longevity depends on material quality and intensity of use. A high-quality alligator or calf strap lasts 3–5 years with moderate daily wear, developing natural patina if produced with vegetable tanning. Vulcanised rubber demonstrates superior longevity (7–10 years) but exhibits less aesthetic transformation. Leather deteriorates more rapidly if exposed to constant moisture or repeated mechanical stress.
