Strap for Black Bay 36 S&G - Diamond / Black / Bracelet

The lug width of the Tudor Black Bay One 79653-0001 is 19 mm. This specific dimension represents the space between the two fixed lugs on the case where the strap must be inserted. Always measure this distance directly on your case to avoid purchasing errors, as it corresponds to the internal width of the strap lugs.

For the two-tone Black Bay One 79653-0001, roasted or dark brown alligator is the choice of maximum elegance, as the scale texture naturally dialogues with the gold and steel bicolour. Alternatively, vegetable-tanned calf leather offers suppleness and develops character as it ages, whilst vulcanised rubber guarantees practicality whilst maintaining impeccable proportions.

To change the strap, position the watch on a soft surface with the case facing downward. Use a dedicated spring bar tool to gently retract the internal springs (spring bar) located at the sides of the lug. Once both ends are released, the old strap slides away. Insert the new strap by aligning the lug holes with the case lugs and reinsert the spring bars until they click into place.

Yes, provided the strap has lugs compatible with the 19 mm lug width. High-quality artisanal straps offer superior ergonomics and durability compared to OEM substitutes. Ensure that the lugs are made of leather, steel or technical fabric suitable for resistance and that the thickness does not prevent proper closure of the buckle or deployant.

The lifespan of a leather strap depends on intensity of use, material and ambient humidity. A quality alligator or calf leather worn daily maintains structural integrity between 3 and 5 years. Vegetable-tanned leather tends to age better, developing a rich patina; vulcanised rubber offers greater durability (7–10 years). Regular maintenance—drying after water contact, protection from excessive heat—significantly extends the useful life of the strap.
