Tudor
Classic 22013-0001 (aka: M22013-0001)

The lug width (also known as lug distance or strap width) of the Tudor Classic 22013-0001 is 20 millimetres. This measurement is taken from the inside of one lug attachment to the inside of the opposite lug, with the watch removed from its current strap. Accurate measurement is essential when selecting an aftermarket strap for compatibility.

The ideal material depends on your intended use and aesthetic preference. For formal elegance, natural alligator in black or brown offers regular texture and fine grain that complements the two-tone gold-steel case. For versatile daily wear, vegetable-tanned calf develops natural patina over time. For sport-casual contexts, a Cordura canvas NATO maintains classic elegance. Structured FKM rubber is the most practical choice for humidity and outdoor activities whilst preserving refinement.

To change the strap, remove your watch from its current strap using a spring bar remover tool (available in dedicated kits) to gently compress the springs of the lug attachments. Once the lugs are free, insert the new strap ensuring the spring bar coils position correctly into the slots. Verify stability before wearing. If unfamiliar with this procedure, consult a professional watchmaker.

Leather strap longevity depends on intensity of use, climate conditions, and material quality. A professional-grade alligator strap lasts 3–5 years with daily wear in temperate climates. Vegetable-tanned calf, being more delicate, has similar lifespan but requires greater maintenance (regular drying after water contact). FKM rubber resists 5–7 years. All artisanal Milano Straps straps include 18-month warranty and can be restored through cleaning and conditioning at Casati Milano atelier.
