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

The Tudor Style 12113-0026 is equipped with a 20mm lug width. This specific dimension is crucial for aftermarket strap compatibility and must be verified directly on the case by measuring from one lug attachment to the other. Precise measurement with a digital calliper is the only reliable method to ensure proper fitment.

Alligator leather in vegetable tanning represents the most aesthetically coherent choice, as it amplifies the case's artisanal character. Vegetable-tanned calf is a versatile alternative that develops a natural patina over time. For intensive daily use, vulcanised rubber offers extraordinary durability, though it is less formal in appearance.

Strap replacement requires extracting the spring bar using a dedicated spring bar remover tool. Once the pin is withdrawn, the old strap disengages; the new strap is fitted by passing the spring bar through its holes and securing it firmly on both sides of the case. Precision is essential to avoid scratching the metal surfaces.

All straps designed for 20mm lug width are compatible. On milanostraps.it, the 20mm strap collection offers solutions in alligator, calf, vegetable leather and rubber, customisable in sizing, monograms and thread colour choice. Always verify the lug width specification before purchase to ensure compatibility.

Longevity depends on use intensity and tanning quality. Alligator or calf in vegetable tanning, with ordinary maintenance (drying after moisture exposure), guarantees 3-5 years of daily wear. Vegetable tanning develops a natural patina that increases its appeal over time, whilst vulcanised rubber offers superior durability even with more intensive use.
