Strap for Style 41 Stainless Steel / Burgundy-Diamond / Bracelet

The Tudor Style 12700-0015 features a 20mm lug width. This measurement is standard for this model and determines the width of the compatible strap, which must be 20mm or less. The lug width is measured between the inner points of both lugs, passing through the bottom of the case.

The ideal strap is vegetable-tanned alligator leather, which perfectly complements the minimalist aesthetic of the model. Alligator offers a naturally structured pattern, whilst vegetable tanning imparts a patina that evolves over time. Alternatively, smooth calf leather with vegetable tanning represents a more understated yet equally coherent solution.

To change the strap, you must remove the spring bars securing the strap to the case lugs. Use a dedicated spring bar tool, carefully inserting it into the appropriate slot to compress the bar and release the strap. Repeat the operation on both sides. Insert the new strap by releasing the spring bar from its seats in reverse order.

Yes, any strap with a 20mm lug width is compatible with the Tudor Style 12700-0015. Milano Straps offers a comprehensive collection of 20mm straps in various materials and colours. To ensure aesthetic coherence with the model's design, we recommend alligator or calf leather straps, preferably vegetable-tanned, with a width not exceeding 20mm.

The lifespan of a leather strap depends on usage intensity, tanning type, and regular maintenance. A quality vegetable-tanned leather strap used daily maintains optimal performance for 2-4 years. Regular cleaning with a damp cloth and application of specific protective creams significantly extends strap life. Milano Straps warrants 18 months on straps crafted in-house.
