Strap for PRC 100 Solar Quartz 39 Stainless Steel / Silver / Bracelet

The Tissot PRC 100 T151.422.11.031.00 features a lug width of 20.00mm. This measurement refers to the distance between the case lugs where the strap is attached. It is advisable to verify the measurement using a digital calliper, positioning the tip on the inner surface of the lug to ensure precision and compatibility with aftermarket straps.

Strap selection depends on intended usage. For formal occasions, an alligator with vegetable tanning or a semi-polished calf amplifies the elegance of the stainless steel case. For everyday sports use, a nylon jacquard NATO offers versatility and ease of maintenance. For prolonged exposure to moisture or perspiration, vulcanised FKM rubber ensures stable grip and simple cleaning.

Strap replacement is accomplished by removing the spring bars from the case lugs. Using a dedicated spring bar tool or a flat-edged artisanal implement, gently lever on the lug shoulder to compress the inner pin, then extract the previous strap. Insert the new strap's pins into the attachments, verifying that they click securely. We recommend entrusting this operation to a watchmaker if you do not possess the specific tool.

Yes, provided the lug width is exactly 20.00mm and the pins are of the same standard diameter. Always verify the measurement before purchasing. Artisanal quality straps, such as those from Casati Milano, are produced in accordance with rigorous tolerances to ensure perfect geometric fit and preserve case integrity.

Durability depends on material, frequency of use, and maintenance. An alligator strap with vegetable tanning, if regularly maintained (cleaning with a soft brush, occasional hydration with specialist balm), can last 5–7 years. A semi-polished calf has similar durability in daily use. A technical nylon or rubber offers greater resistance and potential lifespan of 8–10 years even under difficult conditions. Strap failure typically results from thread rupture or material wear, not from the fastening device itself.
