Strap for Carson Automatic 29.5 Stainless Steel / Yellow Gold PVD / Silver / Bracelet

The lug width of the Tissot Carson T085.207.22.011.00 is precisely 14mm. This dimension, smaller than the standard 18-20mm sizes, requires specifically dimensioned straps for this width. To verify the measurement, use a digital calliper between the inside of the two strap attachment lugs on the case.

For this model, a strap in Italian calf leather with vegetable tanning is the most versatile choice, thanks to its ability to develop a natural patina over time. Alternatively, genuine alligator transforms the piece into a formal accessory, whilst a robust NATO textile strap ensures everyday wearability without compromise.

To change the strap, use a spring bar tool. Position the tip into the slot of the lug attachment, press gently to release the internal spring, extract the bar and remove the old strap. Insert the new strap by aligning the holes, reintroduce the bar and ensure the spring mechanism clicks perfectly into place.

Yes, the Tissot Carson is fully compatible with quality aftermarket straps, provided they feature the correct 14mm lug width. On milanostraps.it you will find a selection of artisanal straps specialised for this width, made in leather, alligator and natural rubber.

The longevity of a natural leather strap depends on intensity of use, climatic conditions and the quality of tanning. A calf leather strap with vegetable tanning, used daily, has an average lifespan of 3-5 years. The patina that forms over time represents added aesthetic value, whilst structural deterioration typically requires replacement after this period.
