Tudor
Glamour 56000-0028 (aka: M56000-0028)— lug 20mm

The Tudor Glamour 56000-0028 features a lug width of 20 millimetres. This measurement, determined by the internal spacing between the lugs, is the standard for this case diameter category (39mm) and is compatible with a wide range of aftermarket straps. To verify this measurement on your watch, use a ruler or digital calliper positioned between the two lugs on the lower side of the case.

The choice depends on your usage and aesthetic preferences. Alligator offers maximum elegance with fine grain and beautifully ageing patina; Swedish calf provides versatility and smooth texture that darkens over time; NATO cotton ensures practicality and quick changes; technical FKM rubber guarantees daily durability. The neutrality of the stainless steel case allows you to pair any of these materials without compromise.

Strap replacement is carried out via spring bars that connect the strap to the case lugs. Obtain a dedicated tool (spring bar remover) to avoid scratching the case. Position the tool tip on the small recess of the spring bar, apply controlled pressure to trigger the mechanism, then extract the spring bar towards you. Repeat on the other side. Insert the spring bars into the new strap and reinsert them into the lugs until they click. If you prefer to avoid this procedure, Casati Milano offers replacement service with personal consultation.

Yes, the 56000-0028 is fully compatible with quality aftermarket straps. The 20mm lug width is a widespread standard, so the range of leather, rubber and fabric straps is extensive. Milano Straps offers a selection of 20mm straps customisable in length, colour, initials and stitching thread type. Choose premium materials (alligator, shell cordovan, Swedish calf) to ensure durability and patina worthy of the watch's value.

A high-quality leather strap (alligator, Swedish calf, shell cordovan) maintains daily functionality for 3-5 years with regular use, potentially longer with careful maintenance (protection from excessive moisture, drying after water contact). Premium leather develops characteristic patina that improves aesthetics over time. Cotton NATO straps last 5-7 years. Technical FKM rubber guarantees 4-6 years without structural failure. Casati Milano offers an 18-month warranty on all handcrafted straps.
