Strap for Pelagos Titanium / Blue / Bracelet

The Tudor Pelagos 25600TB-0001 is equipped with a lug width of 22 mm. This measurement allows for robust and reliable straps whilst maintaining optimal balance between weight and resistance, particularly important for a diving instrument where controlled buoyancy is critical. The measurement is verified by positioning a calliper from the internal point of one lug to the other, perpendicular to the dial.

The choice depends on primary use: for professional diving, NATO in high-density polyamide or FKM rubber offer chemical resistance impervious to seawater and certified quick-dry properties; for transitional use (water-to-land), alligator with vegetable tanning guarantees elegance without technical compromise; for formal contexts, shell cordovan develops golden patina that personalises the watch over time. All materials are available in 22 mm format compatible with this reference.

The process is straightforward: use a spring bar tool (two-pronged or flat-edged) to compress the internal elastic pin of one or both lugs. Extract the pin from the groove and free the old strap. Insert the new strap by aligning the lugs perfectly perpendicular to the springbars, then reinsert the pin into the groove until you hear the locking click. Verify that both lugs are securely engaged before wearing the watch.

Yes, all straps with a 22 mm lug width are compatible. It is essential to verify that the lugs are correctly dimensioned (22 mm internal) and that they present no irregularities at the edges that could damage the Pelagos lugs, which are slightly flared. Quality aftermarket straps guarantee mechanical compatibility and permit aesthetic personalisation without altering the watch's technical functionality.

Durability depends on material and usage environment. Alligator and shell cordovan with vegetable tanning, if not exposed to prolonged water contact, maintain structural functionality for 3–5 years with routine care (periodic cleaning, conditioning with natural waxes). If used in saltwater or chlorinated environments, durability reduces to 18–24 months. For frequent diving, FKM rubber or synthetic NATO are more appropriate choices as they do not degrade chemically and guarantee consistent performance for 5–7 years of intensive use.
