Strap for Style 38 Stainless Steel / Fluted / Silver-Diamond / Bracelet

The lug width of the Tudor Style 12510-0007 is precisely 20 millimetres. This measurement refers to the distance between the centre of one lug and the centre of the opposite lug. You can easily verify this with a digital calliper by positioning it between the upper or lower lugs of the case. An accurate measurement ensures perfect strap compatibility without lateral play or fitting difficulties.

The ideal strap depends on your intended use. For elegant and formal settings, we recommend quality alligator with consistent grain or vegetable-tanned leather that develops natural patina over time. For sporty and everyday contexts, a heavyweight canvas NATO or brushed rubber strap provides practicality without compromising aesthetics. The 20mm lug width remains the constant specification across all these materials.

To change the strap, use a spring bar tool or small flathead screwdriver. Place your watch on a soft cloth surface. Gently insert the tool into the lower lug hole, apply light pressure to release the spring bar tension, and extract it. Repeat for the other lug. Next, align the new strap's holes with the lugs, ensure the spring bar is correctly positioned, and press until you hear a distinct click. Verify the strap is firmly secured before wearing the watch.

Yes, absolutely. The Tudor Style 12510-0007 accepts aftermarket straps with a 20mm lug width. MilanoStraps offers a comprehensive collection of compatible straps in various materials: alligator, calf leather, shell cordovan, NATO and rubber. All our straps are handcrafted and customisable in size, initials, and stitching colour. Always verify that the lug width matches exactly 20mm before purchase to avoid incompatibility.

The lifespan of a leather strap depends on frequency of use, environmental factors, and material choice. Quality calf leather with vegetable tanning, worn moderately (3-4 days per week), remains functional for 4-6 years whilst developing an appreciated patina. Alligator and shell cordovan—noble and more durable materials—can last 6-10 years. Canvas NATO straps are extremely durable but require regular cleaning. Brushed rubber lasts 4-5 years before showing visible wear. All Casati Milano straps include an 18-month warranty against manufacturing defects.
