Strap for Lovely Square Valentines

The lug width of the Tissot Lovely T058.109.16.036.00 is 9mm. This unconventional measurement requires precise strap selection and represents a deliberate design choice aimed at maintaining harmonious proportions of the 20mm diameter case.

The best strap depends on intended use. For discreet elegance, we recommend alligator with vegetable tanning or shell cordovan; for daily versatility, a cotton NATO ribbon; for technical practicality, fluoroelastic rubber. All materials must comply with the 9mm lug width specification.

Strap replacement is performed by removing the spring bar pins using a dedicated tool (spring bar tool). Position the tool perpendicular to the pins, apply gentle pressure, and slide the old strap away; subsequently insert the new strap by perfectly aligning the lugs with the case holes.

Yes, numerous artisan workshops offer custom-made straps for 9mm lug width, including our Milano Straps collection. Simply verify explicit compatibility with the 9mm lug width specification, as many standard offerings do not cover this specific measurement.

A quality leather strap (alligator, shell cordovan, vegetable-tanned calf leather) typically lasts 3-5 years with daily use and routine maintenance. Longevity depends on usage frequency, moisture exposure, and periodic application of protective balms. Leather evolves over time developing patina, a characteristic valued by enthusiasts.
