Strap for Style 38 Stainless Steel / Fluted / Black-Diamond / Strap

The lug width of the Tudor Style 12510-0025 is 20mm. This measurement represents the distance between the case lugs and determines compatibility with aftermarket straps. You can verify it by measuring the lug-to-lug distance with callipers, or by consulting Tudor's official technical specifications.

We recommend a dark brown alligator strap or cognac shell cordovan for the Tudor Style 12510-0025. These materials emphasize the dress watch's formal character and create a natural aesthetic dialogue with the patina developing on the stainless steel case. Alternatively, vegetable-tanned calf leather offers durability and controlled ageing whilst maintaining stylistic coherence.

Remove the original strap by carefully opening the spring bar pins with a spring bar tool, applying downward pressure to release the internal spring. Insert the new 20mm strap in the same manner, verifying that the pins are fully locked in place. If inexperienced, entrust the operation to a professional to prevent case damage.

Yes, any strap with a 20mm lug width is compatible with the Tudor Style 12510-0025.

A quality natural leather strap (alligator, shell cordovan or vegetable-tanned calf) lasts an average of 5-7 years with daily use and proper maintenance. Longevity increases if the strap is rotated among multiple watches and regularly treated with specialised products. Excessive moisture and direct sun exposure reduce the lifespan of natural leather.
