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

The lug width of the Tudor Classic M22013-0012 is 20mm. This measurement is specific to the ladies' model and must be strictly observed when replacing the strap. A strap of different width (18mm or 22mm) will not fit correctly between the lugs of the case.

The best strap depends on your intended use and aesthetic preferences. For daily professional wear, we recommend alligator in cognac or mahogany tones, or vegetable-tanned calf leather, both of which enhance the two-tone gold and steel case. For formal occasions, grey-brown shell cordovan creates a sophisticated effect. For everyday and sports use, NATO calf offers durability and practicality.

To change the strap, you will need a spring bar removal tool. Place the watch on a stable surface, gently lift the spring bar cover, slide the spring bar downward to extract it, then remove the old strap. Insert the new strap and reinsert the spring bar, ensuring it is properly secured. If uncertain, consult a professional watchmaker.

Yes, you can use any aftermarket strap with a 20mm width. Milanostraps.it offers artisanal straps in alligator, calf leather, shell cordovan and other materials, customisable in colour, initials and stitching thread. The Casati Milano atelier creates bespoke straps with personal consultation and an 18-month guarantee.

The lifespan of a leather strap depends on use and material quality. A high-quality alligator or calf leather strap can last 3-5 years with moderate use, as the compact 28mm case diameter and 20mm lug width reduce stress on the buckle. With regular care (water protection, gentle cleaning, rotation between multiple straps), longevity is significantly extended.
