Strap for PR 100 Quartz 24.5 Stainless Steel / White / Bracelet

The lug width of the Tissot PR 100 T049.210.11.017.00 is 20mm. This dimension represents the distance between the two spring bars that protrude from the case. It is essential to verify this specification before purchasing an aftermarket strap: an incompatible lug width would result in attachment instability or mounting difficulties.

For this 24.50mm stainless steel satinised case, the most recommended straps are: dark alligator for formality, vegetable-tanned calf for aesthetic evolution over time, cotton-polyester NATO for daily versatility, and FKM rubber for technical environments. The choice depends on intended use and the desired chromatic contrast with the steel.

The change requires a specific tool (spring bar tool) to extract the two spring bars from the case seats. Once released, the old strap detaches easily. The new strap should be inserted by aligning the two internal holes with the spring bars, then reposition the spring bars in the seats. The operation requires care to avoid scratching the case. If inexperienced, it is advisable to consult a professional.

Yes, all straps with 20mm lug width are compatible. Milano Straps offers a selection of artisanal straps in alligator, calf, NATO, and rubber at 20mm width, customisable for colour, thickness, and buckle type (standard or deployante). Each strap is handcrafted at the Casati Milano atelier.

A quality leather strap (alligator or vegetable-tanned calf) typically lasts 2-4 years with light daily wear, up to 5-7 years with moderate wear and preventative care (rapid drying after moisture contact, avoiding prolonged direct sunlight exposure). Durability depends on frequency of use, environment (humidity, heat), and tanning method. Vegetable-tanned leather ages gracefully, developing patina; replacement remains a minor investment compared to a full movement service.
