Strap for PRC 100 Quartz Chronograph Two Tone

The lug width of the Tissot PRC 100 T008.217.22.111.00 is 17mm. This measurement refers to the internal distance between the two lugs of the case. To verify it correctly, use a digital calliper positioned internally between the lugs: this measurement is essential for selecting the correct compatible strap. A lug width of 17mm is non-standard in the contemporary market, which is why high-quality artisanal aftermarket straps are the recommended solution.

The choice of strap depends on intended use and aesthetic preference. An American alligator strap offers formal elegance and regular texture, highlighting the case's rigour. A European vegetable-tanned calf develops natural patina over time, adapting to daily wear. For sporting activities, a vintage nylon Cordura NATO strap guarantees practicality and style reversibility. An FKM rubber strap ensures complete water resistance during aquatic activities. All these materials are available in 17mm width from Milano Straps.

Strap replacement requires removal of the spring bars that connect the strap to the case lugs. Use a dedicated tool (spring bar tool) to compress the internal pin, freeing the strap. Work on both sides of the case carefully to avoid scratching the steel. After removal, insert the new 17mm strap into the pins, ensuring the pin clicks fully at both ends. This operation requires patience: if you lack experience, consult a professional watchmaker or contact Casati Milano for assistance.

Leather strap durability depends on intensity of use, environmental conditions (humidity, sun exposure) and construction quality. An artisanal strap in European full-grain leather typically resists between 3 and 7 years of daily use. A shell cordovan strap, denser and more resistant to abrasion, can exceed 10 years. Vegetable tanning extends durability compared to rapid synthetic tanning. To maximise longevity, avoid prolonged water exposure, dry the strap after contact with water, apply conserving balms every 6-12 months. Milano Straps artisanal straps are designed for this type of active maintenance, differentiating themselves from industrial disposable straps.
