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

The lug width of the Tudor Style 12113-0017 is 20mm. This measurement is essential when selecting an aftermarket strap: any compatible strap must feature lugs of precisely 20mm width to fit securely into the case lugs without lateral movement or gaps.

The choice depends on your intended use and aesthetic preference. For daily elegance, we recommend vegetable-tanned calf leather or alligator in 20mm width in natural tan or chocolate brown. For chromatic contrast with the yellow gold, consider burgundy or deep green alligator. Cordovan straps in 20mm offer extraordinary patina development over time. For sporty versatility, heavy-canvas NATO with leather lugs is a sophisticated solution.

Remove the watch from your wrist. Using a spring bar tool, apply gentle pressure to one pole of the spring bar mechanism until you free the lug from its seat. Repeat on the opposite side. Insert the new strap by aligning the lugs with the case seats, then reinsert the spring bars until you hear a click. Verify stability by gently pulling the strap.

Yes, provided they are manufactured to certified 20mm lug width specifications. Artisanal straps from milanostraps.it are available in this size and guaranteed compatible. Important: ensure the strap has no welding defects in the lugs. We recommend straps with quality spring bars (316L stainless steel) to ensure longevity and safety.

A quality vegetable-tanned leather strap offers durability of 18-24 months if worn daily, developing a beautiful patina over time. Alligator offers superior resistance (24-36 months), while Cordovan can exceed 3 years. Longevity increases significantly if you alternate straps (wearing each 3-4 days per week). Constant exposure to water, sweat, and UV rays reduces useful life by 30-40%.
