Strap for Pelagos FXD Alinghi Red Bull Racing

The lug width of the Tudor Pelagos 25707KN-0001 is precisely 22 millimetres. It is measured between the two metal lugs on the case where the strap attaches horizontally. This measurement must not be confused with the overall width of the strap itself.

The optimal strap choice depends on intended use. For diving and marine environments, a premium NATO strap in regenerated fabric (Navy Blue or Olive Green) guarantees maximum durability and rapid drying. For formal contexts, an alligator strap with vegetable tanning emphasises the elegance of the titanium case. For professional diving operations, an FKM rubber strap with integrated keepers is the best solution.

The Tudor Pelagos is fitted with standard spring bar lugs. Using a spring bar tool, apply gentle pressure to one of the metal pins to release the bar, remove the original strap, and insert the new one, ensuring the pins remain firmly seated. The process takes 2-3 minutes per lug. If inexperienced, consult a professional watchmaker.

Any strap with a 22-millimetre lug width is compatible. Milanostraps offers straps in alligator, anilina calf, regenerated NATO fabric, and rubber, all verified for precision tolerances. Avoid unknown brands, as imprecise tolerances may cause unwanted case movement.

Lifespan varies by material and maintenance. An alligator strap with vegetable tanning lasts 8-12 years with regular care; anilina calf 5-7 years if protected from excessive moisture; regenerated NATO fabric 15+ years without deterioration. If wearing the Pelagos underwater, always choose rubber or NATO, as wet leather degrades rapidly.
