Strap for Le Locle Powermatic 80 39.3 Stainless Steel / Rose Gold PVD / Silver / Bracelet

The lug width is 19 mm. This measurement represents the distance between the two stub bars that insert into the case holes. It is crucial not to confuse it with the case diameter (39.30 mm). Always ensure you order straps with a 19 mm lug width to guarantee absolute compatibility with this Tissot model.

The ideal strap depends on intended use. For formal occasions, we recommend vegetable-tanned leather in dark brown or black calf, or crocodile for special events. For everyday wear and durability, a cotton NATO strap offers practicality and aesthetic reversibility. For humid environments or sporting activities, brushed FKM rubber ensures grip and longevity. Leather remains the preferred choice to enhance the classical heritage identity of this timepiece.

The process is straightforward. Locate the two small stub bars protruding from the case at 12 and 6 o'clock. Using a spring bar removal tool (small blunt screwdriver), gently press outward on the lower stub bar to release spring tension. The worn strap will slide away. Insert the new strap's stub bars into the same holes, ensuring proper alignment, and press until you hear the locking click. This is a simple operation requiring only basic attention and no specialised tools.

All straps with a 19 mm lug width are compatible with this model. On milanostraps.it you will find artisanal leather (calf, crocodile, shell cordovan) in various finishes, 2-ply cotton NATO straps, and FKM rubber options. The selection is designed to offer formal, sporting, and casual choices, allowing you to personalise your timepiece according to occasion and personal aesthetic preference.

A high-quality artisanal leather strap, finished with vegetable tanning, typically lasts 3–5 years with regular daily wear. Longevity depends on frequency of use, exposure to moisture, perspiration, and sunlight. Calf leather tends to age more rapidly than crocodile, developing an appealing patina. To extend lifespan, avoid prolonged exposure to water and humidity, and consider rotating between multiple straps to distribute wear. When the strap begins showing cracks at the fold, replacement is advised.
