Strap for Style 41 Stainless Steel / Yellow Gold / Fluted / Black / Bracelet

The lug width of the Tudor Style 12713-0005 is 20mm. This measurement is compatible with all 20mm straps in our catalogue. To verify the correct measurement, use a digital calliper positioned perpendicularly between the two attachment points of the original spring bar holes.

The best strap depends on intended use. For formal occasions, we recommend alligator in cognac or black tones, which emphasises elegance. For daily wear, vegetable-tanned calf offers authenticity and naturally developing patina over time. For sports activities, a grey NATO maintains the sporty profile without sacrificing aesthetic appeal.

To change the strap, you must remove the spring bars connecting the bracelet to the lugs on the case. This requires a specialised tool called a spring bar tool. If you do not possess this tool, we recommend having a qualified watchmaker perform the operation to avoid damage to the lugs. The process is fully reversible and requires no permanent modifications to the case.

Yes, the Tudor 12713-0005 is fully compatible with any 20mm strap. Our handcrafted straps are specifically tested for this lug width and guarantee precise fitting. We offer customisations in leather, stitching thread colour, and measurements, plus the option of bespoke service at the Casati Milano atelier.

A quality leather strap (alligator, calf, shell cordovan) typically lasts 3-5 years with daily wear, varying depending on care, climate, and UV exposure. Vegetable-tanned leather develops a natural patina that improves aesthetics over time. We recommend periodic maintenance with dedicated waxes and storage in dry environments to extend longevity.
