Strap for Style 28 Stainless Steel / Yellow Gold / MOP-Diamond / Bracelet

The lug width of the Tudor Style 12103-0017 is 20mm. This is the distance between the inner edges of the lugs, the effective space where the strap is inserted. This dimension is proportioned to the compact 28mm case diameter, ensuring visual harmony and compatibility with a wide range of artisanal straps.

Choice depends on intended use and desired aesthetics. For formal elegance, we recommend black or cognac brown alligator that emphasises the two-tone case. For natural patina and daily versatility, vegetable-tanned leather in brown, hazelnut or burgundy tones. For material exceptionality, shell cordovan in brown or burgundy. NATO in vulcanised rubber for contemporary practicality.

Changing a 20mm strap requires a spring bar tool to remove the elastic pins (spring bars) securing the strap to the lugs. Insert the flat blade into the small hole at the base of the lug, compress the spring, remove the old strap. Repeat on the opposite side. Insert the new strap vertically, aligning the holes with the spring bars, then compress until the click closure.

Yes, absolutely. Any strap with a 20mm lug width is compatible. Custom artisanal straps from Casati Milano or standard-size straps from MilanoStraps guarantee construction quality, premium materials and personalisation. Always verify that strap thickness is suitable for lug geometry to ensure a secure fit without lateral movement.

A premium leather strap (alligator, vegetable-tanned calf, shell cordovan) lasts 3-7 years with moderate daily use, depending on maintenance and climatic conditions. Quality leather develops natural patina over time. To extend durability, avoid prolonged immersion, apply protective balms periodically and replace the strap at the first sign of aesthetic deterioration to protect the case.
