Strap for PR 100 Sport Gent Stainless Steel / Black

The lug width of the Tissot PR 100 T101.610.16.051.00 is 16 millimetres. This measurement is specific to this model and is critical when selecting an aftermarket strap. To verify the measurement, remove the current strap and measure the internal space between the two lug attach points with a millimetre ruler.

The choice depends on intended use. For formal contexts, an alligator strap with vegetable tanning offers elegance and develops a patina over time. For professional daily wear, vegetable-tanned calfskin provides versatility and comfort. For sporting environments, a heavyweight cotton NATO strap is ideal. Rubber represents the most technical and waterproof solution.

The procedure is straightforward: place the watch on a flat surface. Use a dedicated tool or small flat screwdriver to insert into the small lateral groove of the lug and slide the spring bar outward. Once the bar is removed, the old strap detaches easily. Insert the new spring bar into the new strap, align it with the lugs, and slide the bar until it locks. Perform the operation carefully to avoid damaging the case.

Yes, provided the lug width is exactly 16 millimetres. Many artisanal quality straps are available in this specific measurement. Before purchase, always verify the manufacturer's technical specifications and contact the seller to confirm compatibility. Custom straps can be trimmed to fit perfectly to the integrated attachment points.

Longevity depends on material quality and usage patterns. A high-quality alligator strap with vegetable tanning can last 5-7 years with regular maintenance. Vegetable-tanned calfskin has similar longevity. Lifespan is influenced by sun exposure, humidity, frequency of use, and care. Regular cleaning with a damp cloth and light conditioning with specific creams significantly extends its life.
