Strap for Pelagos FXD Marine Nationale 2025

The lug width of the Tudor Pelagos M25707B/25-0001 is 22 millimetres. This measurement is model-specific and determines strap compatibility. To verify the correct width, measure the distance between the two lug attachments using a digital calliper or metal ruler positioned on the inner faces of the lugs.

For the Pelagos M25707B/25-0001, recommended materials include: alligator (formal elegance with natural texture), shell cordovan (patina development over time), vegetable-tanned calf (robust and breathable), FKM rubber (authentic diving functionality), and NATO canvas straps (contemporary versatility). Selection depends on usage context and personal aesthetic preference.

To change the strap on your Pelagos M25707B/25-0001, you will need a spring bar removal tool. Position the watch on a soft cushion to avoid scratches, locate the metal pin securing the strap to the titanium lug, gently press the tool to compress the pin and slide the strap outward. Repeat on the second attachment point. When inserting the new strap, ensure the pins fully engage in the lug slots.

Yes, you can use aftermarket straps provided the lug width is precisely 22 millimetres and the thickness is compatible with the titanium case attachments. Artisanal straps from specialised suppliers, such as those available on milanostraps.it, offer superior construction quality and are designed specifically for this measurement. Always verify compatibility specifications before purchase.

The lifespan of a leather strap depends on tanning method, usage and maintenance. An artisanal alligator or shell cordovan strap lasts 3 to 5 years with regular wear, developing desirable patina over time. Vegetable-tanned calf resists 2 to 4 years under moderate use. Constant exposure to salt water, UV rays and humidity reduces durability. To extend strap life, rotate with other straps and store in a dry environment.
