Strap for Clair de Rose 30 Stainless Steel / Blue / Bracelet

The lug width of the Tudor Clair de Rose 35500-0009 is 14mm. This non-standard measurement was deliberately chosen by Tudor to maintain proper proportions relative to the 30mm case diameter. To verify the width accurately, position a digital calliper between the lug shoulders, excluding any protruding rivets or passant bars.

We recommend alligator leather in vegetable tanning or shell cordovan for the Clair de Rose 35500-0009, as these materials complement the case finishing and harmonise naturally with the rose dial. Smooth calf leather in neutral tones (black, grey, cognac brown) offers a versatile alternative. For dynamic contexts, vulcanised rubber straps provide water resistance and practical durability.

Strap replacement is performed by removing the lug pin (spring bar). Using a specialised tool or blunt knife, apply gentle inward pressure to disengage the pin, then slide out the old strap. Insert the new strap ensuring the pin is fully seated and retained by the internal spring mechanism.

Yes, 14mm aftermarket straps are specifically available for the Clair de Rose 35500-0009. Milano Straps offers a curated collection in various materials (alligator, shell cordovan, calf, rubber) customisable in length, monogramming, and thread colour, with prompt dispatch.

Strap longevity depends on usage intensity and construction quality. Premium alligator or shell cordovan can endure 5-8 years with routine care (periodic cleaning, drying after moisture exposure). Delicate calf leather requires greater attention and typically lasts 3-5 years. Wear first manifests at the wrist fold zone and in the deployant buckle eyelets.
