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

The lug width of the Tudor Classic 22013-0010 is 20mm. This measurement indicates the distance between the two lugs of the case where the strap is inserted. To verify, measure from the centre of one lug to the centre of the other using a calliper; do not measure from the outside edges of the lugs.

For the Tudor Classic 22013-0010, a strap in dark-toned alligator (brown, black or navy blue) or vegetable-tanned calf leather is recommended. These materials enhance the two-tone aesthetic of the case. For casual use, a cotton NATO or rubber strap provide robust and versatile alternatives. The lug width required is always 20mm.

Strap replacement is straightforward: remove the spring bars (metal barrettes) from the current strap using a spring bar removal tool or a flathead screwdriver. Next, insert the spring bars into the new 20mm-compatible strap, ensuring they are parallel and aligned. Finally, attach the new strap by inserting the spring bars into the case lugs until they click into place.

Any strap with a 20mm lug width is compatible with the Tudor Classic 22013-0010. Artisanal straps offered by MilanoStraps for this size are constructed to specification to maintain the engineering tolerances of the Tudor case, ensuring precise insertion and superior durability compared to generic straps.

The lifespan of a leather strap depends on usage, tanning method and environmental conditions. An artisanal alligator or calf leather strap typically lasts 4–6 years with daily wear. Vegetable-tanned leather develops a natural patina over time, extending its aesthetic appeal. To extend strap life, avoid prolonged exposure to moisture and direct heat, and periodically apply a leather-specific protective treatment.
