Strap for Visodate Automatic Yellow Gold PVD / Black / Strap

The lug width of the Tissot Heritage T019.430.36.051.01 is exactly 20mm. This measurement represents the distance between the inner edges of the lugs, measured at the outermost point passing over the case. It is essential to verify this dimension before purchasing a strap, as lugs measuring 19mm or 21mm would not be compatible. Milano Straps offers a complete selection of straps calibrated to this specific measurement.

For the Tissot Heritage T019.430.36.051.01, we recommend vegetable-tanned calf leather in cognac or hazelnut brown tones, which emphasizes the watch's formal-elegant character. A versatile alternative is NATO strapping in cotton or silk in navy blue, grey, and black tones, offering a casual-sporting approach. For humid or summer conditions, FKM rubber ensures practicality whilst maintaining the aesthetic harmony of the stainless steel case. Alligator is not recommended, as its pronounced texture would appear excessive on this proportion.

Strap replacement is performed by removing the spring bars that connect the lugs to the case. Using a dedicated tool (available from specialist retailers), depress the spring bar downwards to free the old strap. The new 20mm strap is inserted by snapping the spring bars into their seats. We recommend performing this operation on a clean, soft surface to avoid scratches. If uncertain, consult an authorised Tissot centre or specialised atelier such as Casati Milano.

All straps with a 20mm lug width are compatible—a less common specification than 21mm or 22mm lugs. Milano Straps offers a curated selection of handcrafted leather straps in vegetable tanning, cotton and silk NATO straps, and technical rubber, all calibrated for this geometry. Always verify that the strap is labelled as 20mm and that its total width respects the case proportion (39.30mm diameter suggests harmonious dimensions with appropriately proportioned straps).

A vegetable-tanned calf leather strap has an average lifespan of 3-5 years with daily wear, conditioned by factors such as humidity, sun exposure, frequency of wear, and maintenance. During the first year of use, the leather develops a natural patina that enhances overall aesthetics. To extend durability, we recommend rotating the strap every 2-3 days, keeping it dry, and occasionally applying a neutral balm. Cotton NATO straps offer greater longevity (5-7 years), whilst technical rubber straps can last 7-10 years if protected from prolonged UV exposure.
