Strap for Style 28 Stainless Steel / Burgundy / Bracelet

The lug width (misura ansa) of the Tudor Style 12100-0011 is 20mm. This measurement represents the internal distance between the two lugs of the case, the space in which the watch strap is installed. To verify this correctly, measure with a calliper the internal distance between the lugs: it must be exactly 20mm.

For the Tudor Style 12100-0011, a strap in alligator or high-quality calf leather represents the choice most coherent with the formal philosophy of the watch. Alligator emphasises aesthetic sophistication through its natural grain, whilst calf leather with vegetable tanning develops a rich patina over time. For practical daily use, a grey-blue NATO strap maintains formal elegance and versatility. All 20mm straps available on milanostraps.it are certified compatible with this reference.

To change the strap on the Tudor Style 12100-0011, you must use a spring bar removal tool. Position the watch with the lug facing you, insert the flat tip of the tool into the slot of the lug to compress the internal spring, then gently extract the metal spring bar. Repeat the operation on the opposite side. Insert the new strap by first seating one end of the spring bar in the lug, then compress the spring and seat the other end. Verify that the spring bar is fully seated.

Yes, the 20mm strap is compatible with any watch that has a lug width of 20mm, regardless of the brand. However, it is important to verify the total length of the strap (length of the upper section and lower section) to ensure correct wear. On milanostraps.it you will find straps customizable in length, thus suitable not only for the Tudor Style 12100-0011 but for any watch with the same lug width.

The durability of a leather strap depends on the quality of the material, the tanning process, and the intensity of use. High-quality calf leather with vegetable tanning maintains structural integrity for 3-5 years of daily use, whilst developing a desirable patina. Alligator, being more resistant to mechanical wear, can last 5-7 years. Shell cordovan, due to its cartilaginous nature, can reach 7-10 years. Factors such as humidity, sun exposure, and frequency of wear influence longevity. Casati Milano's 18-month warranty covers manufacturing defects and provides support for routine maintenance.
