Strap for Bellflower Carree Yellow Gold / Champagne / Bracelet

The lug width of the Tissot Bellflower T73.3.322.21 is 20mm. This measurement, also called strap width or lug-to-lug spacing, corresponds to the internal distance between the two spring bar attachments on the case. It is the technical specification that determines which strap to fit on the watch.

For the Bellflower, we recommend alligator straps for formal occasions: the natural texture of the leather pairs perfectly with the yellow gold case. Vegetable-tanned calf leather is ideal for those who appreciate natural colour development over time. NATO canvas offers versatility for casual environments whilst maintaining elegance.

Strap replacement involves removing the lateral spring bars that connect the strap to the case lugs. Using a dedicated spring bar tool or consulting a watchmaker, you extract the spring bars, remove the old strap and fit the new one, ensuring the spring bars are properly positioned in both lugs.

Any strap with a 20mm lug width is compatible with the T73.3.322.21. MilanoStraps offers a curated selection of 20mm straps in various materials: alligator, calf leather, vegetable-tanned leather, shell cordovan, NATO and FKM rubber, all tested for correct optical proportions on this case.

A quality leather strap (alligator or vegetable-tanned calf) typically lasts 5-7 years with moderate daily use, developing a natural patina that increases aesthetic appeal over time. Durability depends on ambient humidity, sun exposure and strap care. FKM rubber offers superior resistance in humid environments, lasting 3-4 years of intensive wear.
