Strap for Style 41 Stainless Steel / Fluted / Blue-Diamond / Strap

The lug width of the Tudor Style 12710-0029 is 20mm. This measurement refers to the distance between the two lugs (horns) of the case where the strap is attached, and is essential for selecting compatible straps.

The best strap depends on your intended use and aesthetic preferences. For elegant wear, we recommend cognac or black calf leather; for minimalist styling, light grey barley grain calf; for sportive versatility, a rubber or Cordura fabric strap. For the finest option, shell cordovan with vegetable tanning develops natural patina over time.

To change the strap, you will need a spring bar tool. Insert the tool into the small gaps on either side of the case lugs to gently push the spring bar outward. Once released, remove the old strap and align the new strap's holes with the spring bar, pushing until you hear or feel a click.

Yes, any strap with a 20mm lug width is compatible with the Tudor Style 12710-0029, provided it meets construction standards. Quality artisanal aftermarket straps often feature superior leather and allow customisation in colour, stitching thread, and personalisation options.

A quality leather strap typically lasts 2-4 years depending on use, moisture exposure, and material type. Vegetable-tanned leather tends to last longer as it matures over time rather than deteriorating. To extend strap lifespan, avoid prolonged water exposure and consider rotating straps to distribute wear.
