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

The lug width of the Tudor Style 12510-0026 is 20mm. This is the standard measurement for this model, representing the distance between the case lugs where the strap attaches. If you need to verify, use a digital calliper and measure precisely between the two lug attachment points.

We recommend natural alligator leather with even grain, or shell cordovan from vegetable tanning, which enhance the understated character and elegance of the case. Vegetable-tanned calf, vulcanised rubber, and woven textile NATO straps are equally compatible. Your choice depends on personal preference and intended use.

The process is straightforward: use a spring bar tool to remove the pins connecting the strap to the case lugs. Press gently inward to disengage the spring, extract the old strap, and insert the new one, aligning the lug holes. The entire procedure takes a few minutes and requires no special equipment.

Yes, any certified 20mm lug width strap will fit your 12510-0026. However, consider proportions: straps thicker than 5mm may appear disproportionate to the compact case profile. We recommend strap thicknesses between 3mm and 4.5mm to maintain original aesthetic harmony.

Durability depends on material and usage conditions. Quality alligator with certified vegetable tanning maintains functionality and appearance for 3-5 years with daily wear. Shell cordovan, being more robust, can last 5-7 years. Humidity, perspiration, and cleaning frequency all influence longevity. With proper maintenance—regular cleaning and annual conditioning—lifespan can be significantly extended.
