Strap for Carson Quartz 40 Yellow Gold / Black / Strap

The Tissot Carson T907.410.16.053.00 features a 20mm lug width. This measurement, determined between the internal edges of the lugs on the case, represents the historical standard for dress watches. To verify: observe the rectangular space where the strap fits; the internal distance should correspond to 20mm.

For a yellow gold case, we recommend French or American alligator leather with medium grain, or Italian vegetable-tanned calf. Both materials enhance the precious metal's nobility through natural chromatic harmony. Cognac brown alligator or aged tobacco calf are paradigmatic choices for this model.

Extend the original strap and locate the metal lugs at its extremities. Use a spring bar tool, inserting the bifurcated tip into the lateral holes and applying gentle pressure to compress the internal springs. The strap will disconnect; install a new one of identical 20mm lug width using the reverse procedure.

Yes, provided the lug width is exactly 20mm. Artisanal high-quality straps guarantee structural compatibility and often provide superior construction quality compared to OEM straps. Always verify the measurement with a calliper before ordering.

Duration depends on material and usage. A premium alligator or calf leather, subject to regular maintenance (gentle cleaning, annual conditioning), maintains structural integrity for 5-8 years. Factors such as sun exposure, perspiration, and humid climate accelerate ageing. Vegetable tanning develops noble patina over time.
