Strap for Classic 28 Stainless Steel / Yellow Gold / Fluted / Black / Bracelet

The lug width of the Tudor Classic 22013-0003 is 20mm, measured from left to right lug tip. This is a less common specification, proportionally designed for the compact 28mm case. It is essential to verify this measurement before purchasing an aftermarket strap to ensure perfect compatibility.

For the Tudor Classic 22013-0003, we recommend primarily alligator or vegetable-tanned calf leather straps, which enhance the bi-metal elegance of the case. Alligator delivers formal sobriety, whilst calf offers versatility and beautiful ageing. For more sporty use, shell cordovan ensures superior durability. MilanoStraps offers a curated selection of 20mm straps specifically compatible with this model.

Strap replacement on the 22013-0003 is achieved by removing the spring bars that secure the strap to the lugs. Using a dedicated spring bar tool, gently widen the spring bar to allow it to slide out of the lug. Insert your new 20mm strap, ensuring proper alignment, and release the spring. Exercise caution to avoid damaging the case finish.

Yes, but only if the lug width is exactly 20mm. Many aftermarket straps are available in this size, including those in the MilanoStraps catalogue, crafted with superior leathers. Always verify technical specifications before purchase to avoid incompatibility issues.

Leather strap longevity depends on material choice and usage intensity. A quality artisanal alligator strap typically lasts 3-5 years with daily wear. Vegetable-tanned calf offers similar longevity, whilst shell cordovan may reach 5-7 years. Periodic maintenance and rotation between multiple straps significantly extends durability. Casati Milano provides an 18-month guarantee on all custom straps.
