Strap for Style 38 Stainless Steel / Fluted / Burgundy / Bracelet

The lug width of the Tudor Style 12510-0015 is 20mm. This measurement represents the internal distance between the two lugs of the watch. The lugs are constructed with a straight and generous design, allowing the use of standard aftermarket straps without significant construction limitations.

The ideal strap depends on your personal style. For formal elegance, we recommend alligator with vegetable tanning or Japanese shell cordovan, which develop a fascinating patina over time. For daily sportive use, a naturally tinted calf leather strap or natural rubber offer comfort and practicality. Any choice benefits from the addition of a deployante clasp for security and uniform wear.

The change requires the use of specific tools: a spring bar tool to extract the lugs without causing damage. Insert the tool into the small hole at the base of the lug, apply gentle pressure to release the internal spring, then extract the lug. Repeat the operation on the other side. Insert the new lugs into the strap, ensuring they are completely locked before wearing the watch.

Yes, any strap with a 20mm lug width is compatible with the 12510-0015. The case allows the passage of standard, slightly thicker, or customised straps without any mechanical issues. We recommend verifying that the thickness does not exceed 4mm to ensure smooth insertion into the straight lugs.

The duration depends on the material and usage. An alligator strap with vegetable tanning or shell cordovan can last 5-8 years with proper maintenance, especially if alternated with other straps. A standard calf strap has an average lifespan of 2-4 years with daily use. Vegetable tanning develops decorative cracks that do not compromise its functionality. A deployante clasp would significantly prolong the useful life by reducing wear on the ends.
