Strap for PRC 200 Quartz Silver Brown Leather

The lug width of the Tissot PRC 200 T055.410.16.017.01 is precisely 19 millimetres. This measurement, defined by the internal distance between the two lugs anchoring the strap to the case, is critical for compatibility with any aftermarket strap. To verify your measurement, use a digital calliper positioned between the lugs: the reading must be exactly 19mm.

For the PRC 200, a fine-grained alligator strap in chocolate brown is ideal, as it emphasises the watch's functional sporting aesthetic. Alternatively, vegetable-tanned calf leather develops a beautiful patina over time. For daily use and variable conditions, a Fluoroelastomere rubber strap with stainless steel deployante offers durability and versatility. A cotton NATO in navy blue or charcoal grey preserves the original instrumental character.

To change the strap: 1) obtain a spring bar tool; 2) place the watch on a soft surface; 3) insert the tool into the hole beside the lug pin to lift it slightly; 4) extract the old pin by pulling towards you; 5) repeat on the other side. Next, insert the pins of the new strap on one side first, then align and firmly press on the other until you hear the click. If inexperienced, consult an authorised Tissot service centre or specialist watchmaker.

Yes, the T055.410.16.017.01 is fully compatible with any strap featuring 19mm lugs. However, since 19mm is non-standard (the market favours 18, 20 or 22mm), we recommend consulting specialist artisans who create custom lugs on commission, ensuring superior build quality and certified materials. MilanoStraps offers an extensive selection of 19mm straps in leather, NATO and rubber, ready to ship.

Durability depends on tanning method and usage patterns. Vegetable-tanned calf, worn daily, typically shows natural wear signs (creasing, fraying at curves) after 18–24 months. Alligator, being more robust, lasts 24–36 months. A cotton NATO may lose elasticity after 12–18 months. With proper maintenance (periodic cleaning, conditioning with natural wax every six months), lifespan extends significantly. Fluoroelastomere rubber guarantees 2–3 years of weather resistance.
