Strap for Le Locle Powermatic 80 Open Heart Stainless Steel / Silver / Bracelet

The lug width of the Tissot Le Locle T006.407.11.033.02 is 19 millimetres. This is the distance between the centres of the two spring bars that attach the strap to the case. To verify, measure the inner attachment zone (not the outer width). This measurement is essential for ordering compatible straps for your model.

The choice depends on intended use and aesthetic preferences. An alligator strap of quality offers formal elegance and regular texture that contrasts with the brushed case finish. A vegetable-tanned calf leather guarantees natural patina development over time and daily tactile comfort. A NATO or gummed rubber strap is ideal for dynamic use and wear resistance. We recommend evaluating your personal lifestyle before selecting the material.

The strap is secured to the case via two spring bars that pass through the lug attachment. To remove it, use a spring bar tool, applying gentle pressure to one of the spring bars until it retracts, then extract the strap from the case. Insert the spring bars of the new strap into the attachment points and push until you hear a click. If you are not experienced, we recommend having this done by a qualified service centre to avoid damage to the case.

Any strap with a 19-millimetre lug width is compatible with this model. You can choose from leather straps (alligator, calf, plain leather), NATO straps, rubber straps, straps with standard buckles or deployante clasps. Always verify that the lug width is exactly 19 mm to avoid misalignment or damage to the lug attachment.

The lifespan of a leather strap depends on material quality, daily use and care. A quality leather strap can last 3 to 8 years with regular use. A vegetable-tanned calf, whilst developing patina over time, can last 4-6 years if not exposed to excessive moisture. Gummed rubber has superior durability (8-10 years), whilst fabric NATO straps last even longer. Regular maintenance and avoiding humid and hot climates significantly extend useful life.
