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

The lug width of the Tudor Classic 22013-0009 is precisely 20mm. This dimension is the standard compatible with the 28mm case, maintaining harmonious proportions. To verify, measure the space between the two inner lugs at the spring bar attachment points using a precision calliper.

For the Tudor Classic 22013-0009, we recommend medium-grain alligator in warm brown or black tones, which enhances the bicolour steel-and-gold case nature. Alternatively, vegetable-tanned calf leather for an organic patina, or a cotton-reinforced NATO for daily-wear versatility. The choice depends on wearing context and personal aesthetic preference.

Changing a strap on a 20mm lug width requires a spring bar removal tool. Insert the tool into the slot of the spring bar, press inward slightly to release tension, and extract the worn strap. Repeat on the other side. Next, position the new strap, aligning the holes with the spring bars, and press firmly with the tool until you hear a click. Verify that both bars are fully seated.

Yes, provided the strap has a compatible 20mm lug width and the spring bars are of standard dimensions (typically 1.5–1.8mm in diameter). The 20mm straps from milanostraps.it are tested for compatibility with the Tudor Classic model. Always check the length of the centre section to ensure comfortable fit on your wrist.

Durability depends on material, frequency of wear, and climatic conditions. A quality alligator or calf, worn daily under normal conditions, typically lasts 3–5 years before replacement. A strap exposed to frequent moisture or extreme temperature swings ages more rapidly. Vegetable-tanned leather develops authentic patina but may require maintenance with specialist creams after 18–24 months of heavy use. Casati Milano offers an 18-month guarantee on its straps.
