Four Leather Straps for Your Tudor
Tudor strives to blend history with time by incorporating modern technology combined with historical Tudor elements - like the snowflake hands (dating back to the 1970s). The 41mm Tudor case line appeals to modern and vintage fans alike. The Tudor Heritage Black Bay 41mm, GMT, Steel & Gold, and the Heritage Chronograph have a 22mm lug width. Being huge watch strap fans, we set out to explore multiple leather watch band options for these models including Tudor itself.

Tudor offers its own leather watch bands with a straight edge. Available at authorized Tudor dealers, the Tudor leather watch bands are priced at over $200. Obviously, the benefits of purchasing one of these is that it notes Tudor and Tudor’s logo (stamped on the bottom). Designed by Tudor, the leather watch bands offer the perfect compliment to Tudor’s different models.
Crown and Buckle also offers 22mm watch bands - maybe not specifically made for the Tudor watch models but they are compatible none the less with an average price tag of $36.00. The watch bands are offered in a multitude of blacks and brown hues with some alligator stamped options as well. The straps all feature a wide body with very little tapering deriving from the lug connection. There are multiple stainless steel buckle styles as well that accommodate the different colors resulting in a variety of styles. Based in Florida, Crown and Buckle offers a variety of NATO style straps as well.
