Strap for PR 100 Automatic 38 Asian Games 2014

The lug width of the Tissot PR 100 T049.407.11.067.00 is 19mm. This dimension is the specific standard for this model and defines compatibility with aftermarket straps. Lug width represents the distance between the two spring bars that emerge from the lateral lugs at 3 and 9 o'clock positions. Any compatible strap must have a nominal width of 19mm to ensure correct and secure attachment.

The choice depends on intended use and personal aesthetic preferences. For a classic-elegant pairing, we recommend a calf or alligator strap with vegetable tanning, which develops authentic patina over time. For daily sports use, a NATO fabric strap or FKM rubber strap offers greater resistance to environmental conditions. A black alligator strap conveys sobriety; a dark brown calf (toast or tobacco shade) harmonises with the watch's blue-grey dial. Personalised consultation at Atelier Casati Milano allows you to test each option on your case.

The strap is removed by acting on the two lateral spring bars that secure the strap to the case at 3 and 9 o'clock positions. Using a dedicated tool (spring bar tool) or small lever, compress the pin on one side to free the lug from the case eyelet. Repeat the operation on the other side. To install the new strap, insert the pin through the lug opening of the new strap, then push the pin into the case eyelet until it clicks into place. This operation requires precision and proper tools; it is advisable to have it performed by an expert or specialist atelier such as Casati Milano.

All straps with a 19mm lug width are compatible with the Tissot PR 100 T049.407.11.067.00. Milano Straps offers an extensive range of 19mm straps: in leather with vegetable tanning (calf, alligator), NATO fabric straps, and FKM rubber straps. It is essential to verify that the lug width is exactly 19mm; attempting to force 20mm straps or other sizes compromises attachment security and safety. All recommended straps maintain compatibility with the original spring bars of the Tissot case.

The lifespan of a leather strap depends on material quality, tanning method applied, and daily use. A vegetable-tanned strap (calf or alligator) with regular maintenance (protection from excessive moisture, periodic cleaning with dry cloth) can last 5-8 years or longer. Vegetable-tanned leather develops a natural protective patina that increases longevity. A poor-quality leather strap or one with synthetic finishes will last 2-3 years. Milano Straps guarantees the artisanal quality of their straps; replacing a worn strap is a simple operation that does not compromise the watch case.
