Strap for Couturier Powermatic 80 32 Stainless Steel / MOP / Strap

The lug width of the Tissot Couturier T035.207.16.116.00 is 18mm. This is the standard distance between the pins that accommodate the strap on the 32mm case. To verify, measure perpendicularly across the case diameter between one pin and the other using a digital calliper.

For the Couturier 32mm, alligator in burgundy or black represents the supreme choice, as the aligned scales dialogue with the proportionate geometry of the case. Vegetable-tanned calf leather is the excellent daily alternative; shell cordovan offers resilience and authentic ageing. For versatility, NATO in navy blue or slate grey maintains elegance without competing with the dial.

Position the watch on a soft pad. Using a springbar tool, apply gentle pressure on one of the pins to loosen it. Pull the used strap and fully extract the pin. Align the new strap to the lugs and insert the pin from above, pressing until it clicks. Repeat for the other side. The procedure requires attention to avoid scratching the stainless steel case.

No. The 18mm lug width is specific to the Couturier 32mm (T035.207.16.116.00). Other Tissot collections or case diameters utilise different widths (16mm, 20mm, 22mm). Always verify the lug width before purchasing an aftermarket strap to ensure constructive compatibility.

A vegetable-tanned calf leather strap of artisanal quality has an average lifespan of 2–3 years with daily wear, variable according to sun exposure, humidity and care. Shell cordovan, for its dense fibrous composition, exceeds 4–5 years. The patina that develops is a sign of authentic ageing. Regular maintenance (gentle cleaning, drying) significantly extends longevity.
