Strap for Style 38 Stainless Steel / Burgundy / Bracelet

The lug width (ansa) of the Tudor Style 12500-0011 is 20mm. It is measured by placing a ruler between the two outer edges of the lugs on the case. This measurement ensures compatibility with 20mm-specific straps and provides balanced proportions on the wrist.

The choice depends on usage: alligator or cognac-coloured calf leather provide refined elegance for formal and daily wear; a NATO strap in neutral tones offers versatile sportiness; premium shell cordovan develops extraordinary patina over time. All options require 20mm lug width for perfect compatibility.

Use a spring bar tool to remove the elastic pins connecting the lugs to the case. Extract the pins from one end, slide them out from the old strap, and reinsert them into the new strap, ensuring they click fully into place.

Yes, any strap with 20mm lug width is compatible with the Tudor Style 12500-0011. Artisanal straps from milanostraps.it, crafted from premium leather (alligator, calf, shell cordovan) or technical materials, fit perfectly and allow personalisation in size, stitching thread, and initials.

A quality leather strap, with vegetable or chromium tanning, typically lasts 3–5 years with daily wear and ordinary care (drying after moisture exposure, protection from direct heat). The patina that forms enhances aesthetic appeal whilst maintaining structural integrity.
