Strap for Style 41 Stainless Steel / Silver / Strap

The lug width of the Tudor Style 12700-0018 is 20 millimetres. This measurement is standard for dress watches in the 40-42 millimetre range and is compatible with the vast majority of contemporary artisanal strap offerings. To verify the measurement, position a caliper on the underside of the case between the two lug attachment points.

For the 12700-0018, we recommend materials that respect the formal vocation of the model: black or dark brown alligator, vegetable-tanned calf, or shell cordovan. For daily wear, a woven polyamide NATO strap provides versatility. The choice depends on the desired balance between elegance and practical use.

The process is straightforward: use a spring bar tool to press the elastic pin of the lugs, gently lifting the strap from its seats. Repeat from the other side. When installing the new strap, ensure that the pins are fully inserted into their seats and that the strap is perfectly aligned with the case.

Yes, any strap with a 20 millimetre lug width is perfectly compatible with the 12700-0018. High-quality aftermarket straps allow you to personalise the watch's aesthetics whilst maintaining construction integrity and mechanical compatibility.

Durability depends on leather quality, usage, and maintenance. A high-quality strap (alligator, cordovan, vegetable-tanned calf) typically lasts 3-5 years with daily wear. Regular maintenance—gentle cleaning, protection from excessive moisture, rotation with other straps—significantly extends longevity. Straps crafted at Casati Milano atelier include an 18-month warranty.
