Strap for Black Bay One 39 Stainless Steel / Blue / Bracelet

The lug width of the Tudor Black Bay One 79660-0002 is precisely 21 mm. This dimension is the standard specification for this model and determines the strap width that can be paired with it. To verify compatibility, measure the space between the two lugs on the case: it must be exactly 21 mm.

For the Black Bay One 79660-0002, which embodies minimalist essentiality, we recommend straps in alligator leather (natural grain that does not visually compete with the dial), vegetable-tanned calf leather for a classic British aesthetic, or shell cordovan for those desiring maximum durability. Recommended colours: black, dark brown, charcoal grey. Avoid overly thin straps that would betray the constructive solidity of the case.

The strap on the Black Bay One 79660-0002 is changed using a spring bar tool. Opening the caseback is inadvisable unless you possess technical expertise: consult a professional. The spring bar holding the strap to the lug must be compressed on both sides to remove the old strap. Insert the new strap by aligning the spring bar, then release it. Operating time: 5 minutes for experienced hands.

Any strap with a 21 mm lug width is compatible with the 79660-0002. Online you will find high-quality customisable artisanal straps ready for shipment. For a bespoke experience, the Casati Milano atelier creates made-to-measure straps with direct leather selection, WhatsApp updates and 18-month warranty.

A high-quality artisanal leather strap has an average lifespan of 3-5 years with daily use, variable depending on the tanning method employed. Vegetable-tanned leather ages by developing patina, subjectively extending perceived value. Shell cordovan reaches 7-10 years. Durability depends on: frequency of use, UV exposure, ambient humidity and maintenance. Annual conditioning with specific balms can extend the strap's lifespan.
