Strap for Style 38 Stainless Steel / Burgundy / Strap

The Tudor Style 12500-0012 features a lug width of 20mm. This measurement represents the distance between the two internal lugs where the strap attaches and determines strap compatibility. You can verify this by measuring the distance between the lugs with a digital calliper.

For the Tudor Style 12500-0012, we recommend alligator leather in vegetable tanning, dark brown or black, which emphasises the timepiece's formal and minimalist character. Alternatively, shell cordovan develops patina over time; for daily wear, vegetable-tanned calf or a cotton-polyester NATO offer versatility and immediate comfort.

The strap is changed by removing the two spring bars that connect the strap to the lugs. Use a dedicated tool or a small flathead screwdriver to compress the internal spring of the spring bar, extracting it from the lug. Subsequently, align the new strap with the holes and reinsert the spring bars until you feel them lock in place.

Any strap manufactured for a 20mm lug width is compatible with the 12500-0012. On milanostraps.it you will find handcrafted leather, NATO and rubber straps, all customisable. Ensure that the strap thickness (approximately 4-5mm) is suitable for the depth of the watch case lugs.

A quality leather strap (alligator, cordovan, calf) typically lasts 3-4 years with daily wear, depending on the tanning method and personal habits. Vegetable tanning develops natural patina and improves aesthetically over time. Casati Milano guarantees its own straps for 18 months and provides repairs and restoration services by appointment.
