Strap for Classic 28 Stainless Steel / Fluted / Silver-Diamond / Bracelet

The lug width of the Tudor Classic 22010-0011 is 20 millimetres precisely. This measurement is rigid and does not allow significant tolerances: a strap must fit exactly this width to run smoothly between the lugs without creating gaps or forcing.

For the 22010-0011, we recommend fine-grain alligator (black or cognac brown) for formal elegance, or vegetable-tanned calf for those who desire a patina that evolves over time. A robust textile NATO remains ideal for daily use and humid environments, maintaining harmonious proportions with the 28mm case.

Strap replacement is carried out by removing the pins (or deployante if present) that secure the strap to the case lugs. Using a dedicated tool (spring bar tool), gently push the lateral pins inward, freeing them from their seat. Once removed, the old strap separates easily. Installation of the new strap follows the reverse path: insert the pins into the lug holes, verifying they are perfectly aligned and secure.

Yes, any 20mm aftermarket strap is compatible with the 22010-0011, provided the fixing pins are in good condition and correctly dimensioned. Artisanal straps produced by milanostraps.it are specifically designed for this width, ensuring perfect fit and finishes comparable to original pieces.

The lifespan of a leather strap depends on material, frequency of use and environmental exposure. A superior alligator resists 3-5 years in daily use before showing visible signs of wear; a vegetable-tanned calf, softer, may last 18-24 months under intensive conditions. Artisanal straps from milanostraps.it include an 18-month warranty and can be restored at the Casati Milano atelier.
