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

The lug width of the Tudor Style 12113-0023 is 20mm. This standard measurement for dress watches allows you to select compatible straps online. To verify it, remove the current strap and measure the distance between the inner edges of the two lugs: it must be exactly 20mm with no tolerance.

For a proportioned dress watch like the 12113-0023 at 28mm, we recommend genuine alligator with vegetable tanning or top-quality shell cordovan. Both materials enhance the yellow gold and stainless steel case combination, maintaining aesthetic coherence. Avoid sports straps or rubber: they are stylistically inconsistent with the model's minimalist identity.

To change the strap, you need a spring bar tool. Place the watch on a soft surface, locate the pin securing the lower lug, gently lever upward from below whilst compressing the internal spring, then extract the pin. Repeat for the other lug. Insert the new strap, align the holes, and push the pin until it clicks shut.

Yes, any 20mm strap is mechanically compatible. However, we recommend choosing premium leathers (alligator, shell cordovan, aniline calf) and keeper finishes coherent with the case aesthetics. Avoid economical straps with plastic keepers: they degrade the perceived quality of the watch.

A quality leather strap with vegetable tanning or shell cordovan typically lasts 3–5 years in daily wear before requiring replacement. Durability depends on humidity, frequency of wear, and maintenance: avoid prolonged wetting, do not expose to direct sunlight, periodically treat with specialised creams. A well-maintained strap can last beyond 7 years.
