Strap for Black Bay One 31 Stainless Steel / Black / Bracelet

The Tudor Black Bay One 79600-0001 features a lug width of 17 millimetres. This dimension is specific to this model and results from the balanced proportion between the compact 31mm diameter and the case width. To verify strap compatibility, always measure the internal distance between the lugs, or consult the manual supplied with your watch.

For the Black Bay One 79600-0001, genuine alligator leather with vegetable tanning is the optimal choice: it develops a natural patina over time that amplifies the tactile narrative of the satin case, provides natural grip through scale structure, and absorbs pressure, reducing stress on the stem and lugs. Alternatively, shell cordovan ages beautifully with natural lustre, whilst English calf with vegetable tanning offers a balance between resilience and understated elegance.

To change the strap on your Tudor Black Bay One 79600-0001, use a dedicated spring bar removal tool. Position the watch with the strap facing you, insert the tool into the lateral hole of the pin and gently push to free the pin from the first lug. Repeat for the second lug. Proceed with care to avoid scratching the satin case. If inexperienced, entrust the task to a specialist atelier such as Casati Milano.

Yes, any strap with 17mm lug width is mechanically compatible with the Tudor Black Bay One 79600-0001. However, we recommend selecting materials and finishes that respect the aesthetic integrity of the watch: alligator, vegetable-tanned calf, reinforced canvas. High-quality artisanal aftermarket straps, such as those available on milanostraps.it, maintain elevated standards of constructive precision and controlled ageing.

A high-quality leather strap with vegetable tanning (alligator, calf, cordovan) typically lasts 3-5 years with moderate daily wear, provided it receives periodic maintenance. Prolonged sweat exposure accelerates wear; intense cold and high humidity require regular ventilation. Canvas or rubber straps offer superior durability (5-7 years), especially when worn alternately. Milano Straps' artisanal straps, crafted from premium leathers and meticulous stitching, guarantee certified resistance within 18 months of personalised creation.
