Strap for Style 34 Stainless Steel / Yellow Gold / Fluted / Champagne-Diamond / Bracelet

The lug width of the Tudor Style 12313-0007 is 20mm. This measurement is taken between the two case lugs, perpendicular to the dial. It is essential to verify this measurement before ordering an aftermarket strap to ensure perfect compatibility.

The optimal choice depends on your intended use. For formal occasions, we recommend alligator in cognac or shell cordovan in Bordeaux, both complementing the elegance of the yellow gold and steel case. For everyday wear, a vitello in tobacco tones or brown cordovan offers versatility. NATO straps in slate grey are ideal if you wish to emphasise the design's sobriety.

The process requires only basic tools. Position your watch with the strap side facing upwards. Using a dedicated spring bar removal tool (or a small screwdriver if equipped with fixed lugs), press the small metal pin that secures the strap. Once removed, insert the new strap following the same procedure, ensuring the spring bars click into their locked position.

Yes, provided the lug width is exactly 20mm. Straps manufactured for this width will fit your case perfectly. Always verify the manufacturer's specifications before purchase. Milanostraps.it offers a comprehensive collection of handcrafted straps compatible with 20mm lug width.

Durability depends on the material and usage context. Traditional alligator lasts 3-4 years with daily wear. Shell cordovan, due to fibre density, achieves 5 years even with regular use. Vegetable-tanned leather straps have similar longevity to cordovan. Wear is natural and desirable—the patina that develops tells the story of your watch's life.
