Strap for PR 100 Quartz 40 Stainless Steel - Yellow Gold / Blue / Bracelet

The lug width of the Tissot PR 100 T150.410.22.041.00 is 20 millimetres. This measurement refers to the internal distance between the two lugs of the stainless steel case and is the essential parameter for selecting a compatible strap. Measuring it is straightforward: position a calliper or tape measure between the inner shoulders of the lugs to ensure the precision necessary to avoid unwanted play.

The best strap depends on intended use. For professional settings, a chromated calf leather with medium grain offers elegance and resistance. If you desire a patina that evolves over time, shell cordovan is ideal. For sports and humid environments, a high-density nylon NATO or vulcanised rubber guarantees absolute durability. Natural alligator represents the understated luxury choice, maintaining coherence with the stainless steel case.

Strap changing requires a specific tool: a spring bar tool (strap remover). Position the watch on a stable surface, insert the tool under the lug to be removed, and gently push the spring bar until it disengages. Once the spring bar is extracted, the strap separates from the case. The new 20mm strap is inserted by aligning the holes with the case shoulders, then the spring bar is reinserted using the same procedure in reverse.

Yes, absolutely. Any strap with a 20 millimetre lug width is compatible with the Tissot PR 100. Verify that the strap is specifically calibrated for 20mm and that the total width does not exceed the case geometry. Customisable straps available online from specialised artisans offer the ability to choose material, colour, buckle, and finishes without compromise on construction quality.

Durability depends on maintenance, material, and intensity of use. A chromated calf leather strap subject to moderate use resists 3-5 years before requiring replacement. Shell cordovan, being a denser natural material, can last 5-7 years or longer. Exposure to humidity, chlorine, and perspiration accelerates ageing. Periodic maintenance (cleaning with a damp cloth, rapid drying) and alternating with a second strap significantly extend useful life.
