Strap for Style 28 Stainless Steel / Fluted / Blue / Bracelet

For the 12110-0013 we recommend alligator in vegetable tanning (black, dark brown or navy blue) for formal aesthetics, or shell cordovan for those seeking superior ageing characteristics and long-term durability. Smooth calfskin represents an optimal compromise between softness and daily versatility. NATO fabric straps are ideal for those transforming the dress watch into a travel instrument.

The Tudor Style 12110-0013 uses a standard spring bar mechanism. Position the watch on a soft mat, hold the case with one hand and gently extract the strap by applying light lateral pressure outward on the spring bar with the other. Once released, align the new strap with the lug seats and press until you hear a 'click' of engagement. Avoid forcing to prevent damage to the metal seats.

A vegetable-tanned leather strap, worn daily, maintains structural integrity for 2-3 years before requiring replacement. Shell cordovan exceeds 4-5 years thanks to natural skin density. Alligator and calfskin have similar durability (2-3 years) when rotated with other straps. Seasonal rotation—alternating leather with rubber according to climate—significantly extends the useful life of each strap.
