Strap for PRC 200 Quartz Chronograph Lady MOP

The lug width of the Tissot PRC 200 T055.217.11.113.00 is precisely 16mm. This specification is determined by the geometry of the case lugs and admits no variation. Always measure with a digital calliper the internal distance between the two lugs, from the rear side of the case, to confirm compatibility of any aftermarket strap.

For a 35mm steel chronograph like the T055.217.11.113.00, American alligator leather with vegetable tanning offers the optimal balance between formal authority and breathability. Alternatively, vegetable-tanned pressedcalf provides softness and elegant patina development, whilst NATO fabric maintains authentic racing codes. Natural rubber is ideal for summer wear or humid environments, absorbing vibration without structural compromise.

Remove the watch from the wrist. Position the extraction tool perpendicular to the lug, locating the access hole on the rear side. Apply gentle, constant pressure to release the metal spring bar (passante). Once the old strap is removed, reinsert the spring bar into the new strap, ensuring both sides are securely engaged. Avoid sharp blows that could deform the lug.

Yes, provided the strap is specifically constructed with certified 16mm lug width. Compatibility depends on manufacturing precision: a 14mm or 18mm strap would cause unacceptable lateral play or mounting impossibility. Always verify manufacturer specifications before purchase. Milano Straps supplies custom straps at 16mm, mechanically tested.

A quality leather strap with vegetable tanning maintains structural integrity between 3 and 5 years of continuous daily use. Durability depends on frequency of wear, sun exposure, humidity, and maintenance (periodic cleaning, conditioning with specific creams). The strap will wear more rapidly if worn daily in humid or saline environments; in occasional use, the patina improves over time without material failure.
