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

The lug width of the Tudor Style 12713-0019 is 20mm. This measurement represents the distance between the horizontal spring bar holes on the case lugs. To verify the lug width of your watch, use a digital calliper positioned perpendicular to the crown, measuring the distance between the two pins where the strap attaches to the case.

The Tudor Style 12713-0019, with its dressy aesthetic and steel-and-gold two-tone case, pairs exceptionally well with alligator leather straps in brown or black, or calf leather with vegetable tanning. For more casual contexts, NATO straps in dense fabric—dark blue or grey—are ideal, whilst rubber FKM represents the versatile summer option. For formal occasions, shell cordovan in burgundy offers a refined and unexpected choice. Selection depends on your primary use case and aesthetic preference.

To replace the strap on the 12713-0019, you must extract the spring bars (pins) securing the strap to the case. Acquire a spring bar tool (a specialist flat-tip or hooked implement): insert the flat end beneath the pin from one side, pressing downward to release the strap, then repeat from the opposite side. Position the new 20mm strap by inserting one spring bar first, then the other, ensuring both are fully seated in their housings. Never force the strap onto the case: correct fitment allows insertion with gentle pressure only.

Yes, an aftermarket 20mm strap is compatible with the 12713-0019, provided it precisely respects the 20mm lug width specification. However, verify that the strap is dimensionally suitable for a 41mm case and that material thickness is appropriate (typically 4–5mm): excessively thick straps may create mechanical stress on the spring bars. We recommend selecting straps crafted from premium leathers and manufactured by specialised artisans to ensure longevity and wearability.

A high-quality leather strap (alligator, calf, cordovan) maintains structural integrity for 3–5 years with regular use and routine maintenance. Longevity depends on frequency of wear, exposure to moisture and perspiration, tanning quality, and daily care practices. Vegetable-tanned straps develop a rich patina over time, improving aesthetically. A NATO canvas strap typically lasts 2–3 years before visible wear, whilst FKM rubber retains functional properties for 4–6 years with regular cleaning. To extend strap life, brush weekly, avoid prolonged water immersion, and apply conditioner every 6–12 months.
