Tudor BB Ceramic aftermarket strap options

Hello all,

I've currently got the new BB Ceramic on order. I love the look of the fitted aftermarket straps on the black bays (RubberB, Crafter Blue), and I think a black one would look perfect on the ceramic.

Has anyone tried these 41mm Black Bay offerings to confirm they fit on the new BB Ceramic case? Thanks!

Nobody currently makes a rubber aftermarket strap for the BB Ceramic - apparently it differs from all other 41mm BB's, can only assume the lug holes are positioned differently. I agree though, a fitted black rubber strap would look absolutely perfect, not really a fan of either strap supplied with the watch.

Do you have any plans to create a rubber strap for the Tudor Black Bay Ceramic?

Rubber-B
At the present time we do not have a Rubber B strap compatible with the new BB 41 ceramic version that was just released and we do not do custom orders, I apologize for the inconvenience this may cause.

There are no current plans at this time, but that may change in the near future. Be sure to check back with us for any future updates!

Thanks for the great response! That’s a shame, surprised they opted to change the lug hole position. Hopefully someone comes up with a strap in the future.

Pleasure - a fitted black strap would transform the watch for me - if you find one let me know!

Thought I would update this with something I found on Instagram. Looks to be a crafter blue TD01 Tudor strap on a BB ceramic. Fit seems okay!

Updates?

I emailed the usual suspects. Anyone had luck with finding a fitted strap yet? Crafter looks good, but can’t be certain it wasn’t modified.

Watch arrives next week. I have 4 straps I will try along with curved spring bars. Looks to me that’s what is used in the pictures above. Niche question/need but I will report back with what does/doesn’t work.

Reached out to Crafter Blue - they stated the TD01 does not fit the BB Ceramic - so can only assume it was modified in some way, or the curved spring bars used overcame the fitment problem. Also said they have no plans to produce a strap for the 79210.

Can anyone share exactly how you can fit Rubber B or Crafter Blue rubber straps to the Black Bay Ceramic?

I reached out to the gentleman on Instagram who had fitted the RubberB - unfortunately his jeweler did the work - and I reached out to him too but didn't receive a response. The fitted strap would transform the BBC, wish somebody made one.

Tudor BB41 Rubber B strap

Just got a Rubber B strap for my Tudor BB41 heritage - super happy with it and seems to reduce the size overall too, makes it seem a little bit less slab sided in some ways.

Love the Rubber B on your ceramic version 👌🏻

Other options include the Bonetto Cinturini rubber nato or an MN strap from Erika. Both are ridiculously comfortable.
