Strap for Pelagos FXD Marine Nationale 2021

The lug width of the Tudor Pelagos 25707B/21-0001 is 22mm. This dimension is measured from the inner distance between the two lug attachments on the case. It is essential to verify this measurement before ordering a compatible strap to ensure correct fitting on the titanium and ceramic case.

The choice depends on intended use. For frequent professional diving, rubber or silicone straps are superior for water resistance and quick drying. For daily wear alternated with occasional diving, a vegetable-tanned leather strap offers a balance between structural durability and artisanal aesthetics. NATO-style synthetic fabric straps represent a tactical intermediate option.

Strap replacement on the Pelagos is accomplished by removing the lug pins. Using a small dedicated tool (spring bar tool), you laterally compress the elastic pins that anchor the strap to the case lugs. Once the pins are released, the old strap slides out easily and the new one is inserted, aligning the holes and ensuring the pins snap securely into position.

Yes, provided the strap is constructed with precise 22mm lug width and adequate thickness to withstand the stresses of a 500-metre dive watch. Quality artisanal straps, such as those available on milanostraps.it, are fully compatible and often offer superior aesthetics and craftsmanship compared to original bracelets.

A high-quality leather strap (vegetable-tanned or alligator) typically lasts 2–4 years if used occasionally for diving. Chronic exposure to salt water, prolonged humidity, and repetitive movements significantly reduce durability. For primarily underwater use, rubber and silicone straps guarantee durability exceeding 5–7 years without structural deterioration.
