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

The lug width of the Tudor Style 12100-0016 is 20mm. This measurement is critical when selecting an aftermarket strap: always confirm that any third-party strap is precisely compatible with 20mm to avoid fitting issues or potential damage to the case lugs.

The optimal strap choice depends on intended use and personal preference. For evening wear, alligator leather with natural tanning is unmatched: the fine grain complements the 28mm case perfectly without adding unwanted weight. For daily versatility, vegetable-tanned calf leather develops a natural patina over time and offers excellent chromatic flexibility. For sportive durability, a silk-cotton NATO or hybrid rubber-leather construction ensures comfort and resilience.

Changing the strap on a 28mm watch with 20mm lugs requires specialist tools. Use a spring bar tool to remove and install the metal loops connecting the strap to the case lugs. If unfamiliar with this procedure, engage a professional watchmaker to prevent case scratching or damage to the lug slots.

A quality leather strap—whether alligator, calf, or shell cordovan—typically lasts 3 to 5 years with daily wear, provided proper maintenance: avoid prolonged water exposure, protect from direct sunlight, and occasionally apply protective conditioning balm. Rubber or synthetic material straps offer similar longevity but prove more resistant to moisture. Bespoke straps from Casati Milano include an 18-month workmanship guarantee.
