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

The lug width of the Tudor Style 12513-0022 is 20 millimetres. This standard ensures compatibility with the entire range of 20mm artisan straps available on milanostraps.it. To verify the measurement, measure the space between the case lugs where the original strap attaches.

For the two-tone steel and yellow gold version, we recommend alligator in cognac or calf leather with vegetable tanning. Alligator offers a parallel grain that dialogues with the geometric elegance of the case, whilst calf develops a historical patina over time. Shell Cordovan is ideal for those seeking a rigid and luminous surface.

Strap replacement on the Tudor Style occurs via the bayonet lugs on the case. Position the watch on a soft surface, use a sprung bar tool to gently lift the lugs, slide out the old strap and insert the new one by aligning the holes with the lugs. Do not force: the attachment must click with precision. If inexperienced, consult a service centre.

On milanostraps.it you will find exclusively aftermarket straps, constructed with artisanal raw materials and manufacturing standards that respect the tolerances of the 20mm lug width. They are not Tudor products, but offer comparable or superior quality, with customisation options impossible on factory straps.

The lifespan of a leather strap depends on the tanning method, usage and maintenance. Alligator and vegetable-tanned calf last 3-5 years with regular daily use. Shell Cordovan, being stiffer, can reach 6-7 years. Exposure to moisture and sunlight accelerates ageing. Periodic maintenance with appropriate creams significantly extends lifespan.
