Strap for Style 41 Stainless Steel / Yellow Gold / Fluted / Burgundy-Diamond / Bracelet

The lug width of the Tudor Style 12713-0015 is 20mm. This contemporary standard allows compatibility with a wide range of aftermarket straps. To verify correct measurement, use a digital calliper to measure the internal distance between the two lugs of the case: it must measure exactly 20mm.

For the yellow gold and stainless steel bicolour case, alligator leather in warm chestnut or cognac tones represents the most refined solution, as its slightly marked grain naturally complements the case metals. Vegetable-tanned calf leather offers a modern alternative that develops patina over time. NATO straps remain a valid choice for those seeking a more sporty aesthetic.

Strap replacement requires a spring bar tool (a specific lever for elastic pins). Position yourself in good light, insert the tool tip under the lug, apply gentle downward pressure to release the spring bar pin, and slide off the old strap. Insert the new strap by aligning the holes at the end of the pin, then snap the pin back into position. Verify that the strap is securely fastened by gently moving the case.

All straps with a 20mm lug width are compatible with the 12713-0015. Online at milanostraps.it you will find a specialised collection in alligator, calf, cotton and rubber, customisable in length, initials and stitching thread. The Casati Milano atelier also creates bespoke straps with personalised consultation.

The lifespan of a leather strap depends on usage and storage conditions. A quality alligator or calf strap, worn daily, maintains structural integrity for 3–5 years before requiring replacement. Vegetable-tanned leather develops a patina that extends its aesthetic appeal. Store your watch in a dry environment protected from direct sunlight to slow leather ageing.
