Strap for Style 28 Stainless Steel / Black-Diamond / Strap

The Tudor Style 12100-0008 features a 20mm internal lug width, measured between the two spring bars that pass through the case. This specification is essential for purchasing compatible straps, as an incorrect lug width will not allow proper installation.

For this 28mm model, finely grained alligator straps are particularly recommended for formal contexts, whilst vegetable-tanned calf leather excels for daily wear. In summer, cordovan in cognac tone offers natural lustre, whilst vulcanised rubber proves perfect for humid environments.

Strap replacement involves removing the spring bars using a dedicated tool (spring bar remover). Position the watch with lugs facing upward, apply gentle pressure beneath the lateral pin to free it from its hole, then repeat on the opposite side. Once the pins are extracted, the strap detaches easily from the case.

Yes, any strap featuring a 20mm lug width is mechanically compatible. At milanostraps.it you will find artisanal straps certified for Tudor, available in various materials and finishes, ready for delivery or customisable to measure.

A quality leather strap, subjected to daily wear, maintains mechanical integrity for 3-5 years. Premium leathers such as alligator and shell cordovan develop beautifully over time, acquiring natural patina. Vegetable-tanned leather ages splendidly, evolving into darker tones and deeper texture.
