Strap for Glamour Day + Date Stainless Steel / Black-Diamond / Strap

The Tudor Glamour 56000-0049 features a lug width of 20 mm. This measurement represents the distance between the two spring bars where the strap is inserted. It is essential to verify this specification before purchasing an aftermarket strap, as an incorrect width would render the strap incompatible with the case.

The Tudor Glamour 56000-0049 pairs ideally with genuine alligator, vegetable-tanned calf, or shell cordovan. Alligator offers maximum elegance and durability with a patina that develops over time. Vegetable-tanned calf provides a soft hand and natural personalisation, whilst cordovan represents the choice for those seeking indestructibility and intrinsic lustre. High-quality vulcanised rubber straps represent a versatile alternative for humid climates.

Strap replacement on the 56000-0049 is carried out via the spring bars. A dedicated tool (spring bar tool) is required to compress the lateral pins. The tool is inserted into the designated slot of the pin, compressed gently, the old strap is removed and the new one is inserted with proper alignment. This operation requires care to avoid scratching the satin case.

Yes, the Tudor Glamour 56000-0049 accepts any aftermarket strap with a 20 mm width. Milanostraps offers a selection of handcrafted 20 mm straps customisable in leather, colour, size and stitching thread. For an even more personalised experience, the Casati Milano atelier crafts made-to-measure straps with direct leather selection and an 18-month guarantee.

The lifespan of a leather strap depends on the material, usage and maintenance. An alligator or shell cordovan strap with vegetable tanning can last 5-8 years of regular use. Vegetable-tanned dyed calf has an average lifespan of 3-5 years. Proper maintenance (regular cleaning, drying after rain, occasional sun exposure) and rotation between multiple straps significantly extend the product's life. Rubber straps have a longer lifespan but lose elasticity after 4-6 years.
