The Heritage
The strap for this watch is made to measure
On the TAG Heuer Alter Ego the bracelet is drawn as part of the case: no catalogue strap will fit. In the atelier we take the measurements on the watch itself and build the strap on the piece — that is the work of Casati Milano.

What is the best strap for the TAG Heuer Alter Ego WP1318.BA0751?
The best strap depends on use and aesthetic preferences. High-quality alligator offers sophistication and fascinating ageing, ideal for those who appreciate sartorial tradition. Artisanal calf leather combines comfort and everyday elegance. Shell cordovan provides crystalline density and natural lustre development over time. For contemporary sporting purposes, rubber or technical fabric ensures versatility. The choice between vegetable tanning and industrial tanning affects longevity and aesthetic behaviour over time.
How do I change the strap on my TAG Heuer Alter Ego WP1318.BA0751?
To change the strap, obtain a specialised tool (spring bar tool) or consult a professional. Insert the flat end of the tool under the spring pin of the lug, applying gentle pressure to compress the internal spring. Extract the pin from the lug and repeat on the other side. Insert the new pins into the available spaces of the new strap, aligning them with the case lugs, then allow the spring to expand naturally, securing the pin in place. Verify that the strap is firmly positioned before wearing the watch.
How long does a leather strap last over time?
The longevity of a leather strap depends on leather quality, tanning type, and daily use. A high-quality artisanal alligator or shell cordovan strap with vegetable tanning can last 5–8 years of regular use, developing a fascinating natural patina. Quality calf leather typically resists 3–5 years. Exposure to perspiration, moisture, and sunlight accelerates ageing. Appropriate maintenance—regular cleaning with a soft cloth, thorough drying after perspiration, storage in a dry environment—significantly extends the strap's useful life.
