What I'm asked about the Tissot Ballade T108.408.11.037.00
What strap size does the Tissot Ballade T108.408.11.037.00 take?
The Tissot Ballade T108.408.11.037.00 needs 20 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 Tissot Ballade T108.408.11.037.00 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.
Can I put a leather strap on the Tissot Ballade T108.408.11.037.00?
Yes, in 20 mm leather. On a 39 mm case a calf strap works every day; if you want something more, alligator.

A 20 mm calf strap, for every day. You'll find it ready in the 20 mm collection. If you'd rather have something built on your wrist, the Casati atelier.

Frequently asked questions
Can I use non-Tissot aftermarket straps on the Ballade T108.408.11.037.00?
Yes, you may use quality aftermarket straps compatible with the 20 mm lug width. Milanostraps.it stocks artisanal straps in alligator, calf, NATO and rubber specifically dimensioned for this measurement. The essential requirement is verifying that width is exactly 20 mm and that spring bars are correctly proportioned.
How long does a leather strap last on the Tissot Ballade T108.408.11.037.00?
Durability depends on leather quality, tanning type and intensity of use. An alligator or shell cordovan strap of quality, vegetable-tanned, guarantees 3–5 years of intensive daily use before replacement becomes necessary. Leather visibly ages, developing patina; regular maintenance (cleaning, conditioning) significantly extends serviceable life.
