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

The lug width of the Tudor Black Bay One 79600-0003 is exactly 17mm. This measurement represents the standard attachment point between the case lugs and the strap. It is crucial to verify this dimension before purchasing an aftermarket strap, as even minor variations compromise aesthetic fit and stability on the wrist.

For this timepiece, straps in alligator leather with vegetable tanning are ideal, developing natural patina over time, or shell cordovan for lasting brilliance. Structured-grain calf leather represents a versatile and contemporary choice. All these materials guarantee refined aesthetics whilst maintaining the diving functionality of the piece, supported by its 200-metre water resistance.

Strap replacement occurs through the release of the spring bars that connect the lugs to the case. Using a dedicated tool, one gently presses the bar to release it on one side, extracts the old strap and inserts the new one, ensuring both spring bars are securely seated. For the 79600-0003, the simplicity of this operation allows frequent changes without risk to the case.

Yes, all straps with a 17mm lug width are compatible with the Tudor Black Bay One 79600-0003. It is essential to verify that the strap has been specifically manufactured for this width, as even minor variations create unwanted play. Milano Straps offers a dedicated range of 17mm straps customisable in material, colour and details, with full compatibility guarantee.

Leather strap durability depends on the material and usage pattern. An alligator strap with vegetable tanning, used in rotation with other straps, can last 4-6 years before replacement. Shell cordovan offers superior longevity, whilst structured calf leather averages 3-4 years. The Casati Milano atelier offers an 18-month warranty and can perform repairs and restoration to extend your strap's lifespan.
