Strap for Style 41 Stainless Steel / Yellow Gold / Champagne / Bracelet

The Tudor Style 12703-0001 features a lug width of 20mm, which is the standard measurement between the two lugs of the case. This dimension determines compatibility with aftermarket straps and must correspond exactly to ensure perfect fit without forcing. You can verify this specification on Tudor's technical documentation or by contacting the brand's customer service.

For the 12703-0001, we recommend a strap in alligator or shell cordovan with vegetable tanning. Alligator, thanks to its natural rectangular grain, dialogues beautifully with the bicolour case in yellow gold and stainless steel. Shell cordovan, conversely, offers natural lustre and material density ideal for both formal and sophisticated everyday environments. Both materials develop a patina over time, enriching the aesthetic value of the watch.

To change the strap, you need to remove the spring bars (small metal pins that connect the strap to the case lugs). Using a dedicated tool or small screwdriver, gently push the spring bar to release the tension, allowing it to slide out from the lug. Then insert the new strap by aligning the terminals with the lugs and release the spring bar, ensuring it is firmly locked in place. Never force during this operation to avoid damaging the metal components.

Yes, any strap equipped with standard terminals for 20mm lug width is compatible with the 12703-0001. It is essential to verify that the declared width corresponds exactly to 20mm to ensure perfect fit and strap stability. At milanostraps.it you will find a wide selection of 20mm straps customisable in materials, colours and finishes, as well as the possibility to request tailoring services at the Casati Milano atelier.

The lifespan of a leather strap depends on usage intensity, tanning type and leather quality. An alligator or shell cordovan strap with vegetable tanning, used regularly (3-5 days a week), can remain in excellent condition for 4-7 years, developing a patina that increases its aesthetic value. Frequent exposure to sun, heat and humidity reduces longevity. Periodic maintenance (water-repellent treatments, gentle cleaning) significantly extends the strap's life. Casati Milano offers an 18-month warranty on custom-made straps.
