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

The lug width of the Tudor Black Bay One 79653-0002 is 19mm. This measurement represents the distance between the inner lugs where the strap attaches to the case. The 19mm width is perfectly proportioned to a 36mm case, following the classical canon of European watchmaking.

For the Black Bay One 79653-0002, we recommend a strap in medium brown alligator or shell cordovan: both enhance the two-tone gold/steel case without visual competition. Alternatively, a classic black leather is versatile for any occasion. Your choice depends on usage: for formal wear, choose alligator or cordovan; for daily use, select leather or rubber.

Position the watch on a stable surface with the case facing down. Use a spring bar tool to gently press the spring pin that holds the strap, inserting the tip into the lateral slot of the lug. Remove the old strap from the first side, then the other. Insert the new strap in the same way, ensuring the springs snap perfectly into the lugs.

Yes, absolutely. Any strap with a 19mm lug width is compatible with the Black Bay One 79653-0002. You can choose from certified aftermarket brands or opt for bespoke handcrafted straps. The important thing is to verify that the width is exactly 19mm to ensure a secure and stable attachment.

A quality leather strap, such as alligator or shell cordovan, typically lasts 3-5 years with daily use. Durability depends on tanning method, environmental humidity, and maintenance frequency. Vegetable-tanned leather tends to age nobly, while chemically-treated leather may lose elasticity faster. Regular maintenance (conditioning 2-3 times yearly) significantly extends strap life.
