Strap for Glamour Date 36 Stainless Steel / Yellow Gold / Diamond / Black / Strap

The lug width of the Tudor Glamour 55023-0045 is 20 millimetres. This measurement is taken centre-to-centre between the lugs and determines strap compatibility with the case. A 20mm strap fits perfectly into the watch's lugs, whilst different sizes (18mm or 22mm) would be incompatible.

For the Tudor Glamour two-tone yellow gold and stainless steel model, we recommend black alligator for formal occasions, cognac calf leather for elegant daily wear, or neutral NATO straps for sporty versatility. Alligator amplifies formality, calf leather develops patina over time imparting character, and NATO transforms the watch into a versatile instrument. Choice depends on use case and personal preference.

To change the strap on the 55023-0045, you will need a spring bar tool or a very fine screwdriver. Gently lift the metal springbars inside the lugs, remove the old strap by sliding the springbar out of its housing, then insert the new strap by reversing the procedure. If you are unfamiliar with this process, we recommend consulting a professional.

Absolutely. Many artisanal strap makers and specialist brands produce 20mm straps that are fully compatible. The key is verifying that the lug width is precisely 20mm and that the strap is crafted in quality leather (alligator, Italian calf, shell cordovan) to ensure durability and aesthetic consistency with the watch's calibre.

A quality leather strap on the 55023-0045 typically lasts 2–4 years with moderate daily use. Longevity depends on frequency of wear, exposure to moisture and perspiration, and maintenance applied. Premium leathers (alligator, Italian calf, shell cordovan) age beautifully and develop compelling patina. To extend strap life, avoid prolonged wetting and periodically condition the leather with purpose-made products.
