Strap for Le Locle Powermatic 80 39.3 Stainless Steel / Black / Strap

The lug width of the Tissot Le Locle T006.407.16.053.00 is 19 mm. This measurement refers to the internal distance between the two suspension lugs. The lugs feature a standardised 1.5 mm diameter pin and require precise compatibility with the strap's mounting points.

Selection depends on intended use. For formal elegance: vegetable-tanned alligator with fine grain or naturally-tanned calf leather. For daily practicality: NATO ballistic nylon or vulcanised rubber. All materials maintain aesthetic equilibrium with the watch's restrained character.

Strap changes require minimal tools: a spring bar tool (small screwdriver with dual curved tips) or a dedicated 1.5 mm implement. Position the watch on a stable surface, insert the tool into the lateral slot of the pin, gently lift until the end clears its seat, slide the old strap outward. Repeat in reverse with the new strap.

Any strap featuring a 19 mm lug width and 1.5 mm diameter pins is compatible. Verify internal measurements before purchase. Artisanal straps in alligator, vegetable-tanned calf, shell cordovan, ballistic NATO and rubber are validated options from specialist craftsmen.

Lifespan varies from 18 months to 4 years depending on material, frequency of use and maintenance. Vegetable-tanned leather ages visibly, developing patina. Rubber resists 2-3 years under frequent moisture exposure. Ballistic NATO exceeds 3 years without significant degradation. Storage in dry environments and periodic brushing extend service life.
