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

The lug width of the Tudor Classic 22013-0005 is 20mm. This measurement represents the distance between the lugs of the case and determines which strap is compatible. You can verify it by measuring the internal space between the two lugs with a digital calliper, or by consulting the technical documentation of the model.

For this model we recommend alligator straps, which enhance the two-tone gold and steel case with elegant texture and natural patina. Alternatively, shell cordovan offers superior density and deep ageing, whilst vegetable-tanned leather ensures daily versatility. The choice depends on primary use: formal, casual or mixed. All must have a 20mm lug width.

Strap replacement involves removing the spring bars from the sides of the case. You will use a dedicated tool (spring bar tool) to gently compress the internal pin, allowing you to extract it from the hole. Then remove the old strap, repeat on the other side, and finally insert the new strap by aligning the holes with the pins. Ensure the pins click correctly into position.

Yes, any strap with a 20mm lug width is compatible with the Tudor Classic 22013-0005, whether original Tudor straps or artisanal aftermarket straps. Compatibility is guaranteed by identical lug width. We recommend straps of certified construction quality, with double-thread stitching and precise finishing, to maintain the elegance of the watch.

A quality leather strap (alligator, shell cordovan or calf) lasts on average 3-5 years with daily use, provided regular maintenance. Exposure to sunlight, moisture and wrist friction accelerates ageing. Artisanal vegetable-tanned straps develop natural patina and can last longer if treated well. We recommend checking the stitching condition every 2 years and protecting the strap from prolonged water exposure.
