Strap for Carson Automatic 35.5 Stainless Steel / Jungfraubahn

The lug width (ansa width) of the Tissot Carson T95.1.483.91 is 20mm. This measurement represents the distance between the two attachment pins on the case and determines compatibility with aftermarket straps. Measuring the lugs from inside to inside of the eyelet holes using a digital calliper ensures maximum accuracy.

For the T95.1.483.91, a vegetable-tanned alligator strap represents the most sophisticated choice for formal contexts. For everyday and recreational use, vegetable-tanned calf or cotton NATO are versatile options. The compact case size (35.50mm) benefits from straps with moderate thickness and restrained texture, avoiding overly bulky materials.

Changing the strap on the T95.1.483.91 requires a spring bar removal tool and two replacement spring bars. Gently push the spring bar on the left side inward, extract the pin, and repeat for the right side. Insert the new strap ensuring the spring bars click firmly into position. If you are uncertain, a professional watchmaker will complete the operation within minutes.

Yes, any strap with a 20mm lug width is compatible with the T95.1.483.91, provided the strap thickness does not exceed 2.5mm (otherwise it may interfere with the case). Artisanal leather straps, NATO straps and rubber are available in numerous material, colour and texture variations.

The longevity of a leather strap depends on the tanning method, thickness and frequency of use. A vegetable-tanned calf or alligator strap, worn daily in watch rotation, typically lasts 3-5 years before replacement is required. The natural patina that develops during this period is considered an aesthetic quality, not a defect. Storing the strap away from excessive moisture and direct sunlight significantly extends its life.
