What I'm asked about the TAG Heuer Formula 1 WBY1117.FT8087

What strap size does the TAG Heuer Formula 1 WBY1117.FT8087 take?

The TAG Heuer Formula 1 WBY1117.FT8087 needs 19 mm between the lugs, usually 16 mm at the buckle. It's the size I've been fitting on it for years.

Can the strap on the TAG Heuer Formula 1 WBY1117.FT8087 be changed?

Yes. It has spring bars between the lugs: with the right tool the strap comes off in a minute. If you'd rather not risk a scratch, I do it in the workshop.

Yes, in 19 mm leather. On a 38 mm case a calf strap works every day; if you want something more, alligator.

Frequently asked questions

What is the best strap for the TAG Heuer Formula 1 WBY1117.FT8087?

The best strap depends on your usage and personal context. For daily professional wear: medium brown alligator or vegetable-tanned calf leather. For summer and sports: NATO textile strap in nautical grey or off-white. For those seeking luxury: shell cordovan or alligator with developed patina. All must feature a 19mm lug width to ensure perfect compatibility with the WBY1117.

Can I use an aftermarket compatible strap on this TAG Heuer?

Yes, absolutely. A 19mm aftermarket strap is fully compatible with the WBY1117.FT8087. The crucial requirement is that the lug width is correct and the strap is constructed from quality materials (natural leather, linen or polyester thread for NATO). Artisan straps in alligator, calf or shell cordovan often offer a level of customisation and quality superior to original factory TAG Heuer straps.

How long does a natural leather strap last on a watch like the WBY1117?

A natural leather strap with vegetable tanning, if worn daily, has an average lifespan of 3-5 years before replacement is required. Alligator and shell cordovan, being more resilient leathers, can last 5-7 years. Lifespan depends on friction with skin, ambient humidity and maintenance (avoid stagnant water, clean periodically). A NATO textile strap lasts 4-6 years. Casati Milano offers an 18-month warranty on all bespoke artisan straps.
