Strap for Quickster Chronograph Stainless Steel / Black / Bracelet

The lug width of the Tissot Quickster T095.417.11.057.00 is 20 millimetres. This measurement represents the distance between the two spring bars that attach the strap to the case. Verifying this dimension is essential before ordering an aftermarket strap, as an incompatible lug width will not fit without forcing.

For the Quickster, straps in alligator (vegetable-tanned) are recommended for classic elegance, calf with natural patina for ageing appeal, NATO in Cordura for sporting versatility, and premium rubber for pure functionality. Choice depends on usage and colour preference: medium-dark brown and navy blue pair naturally with the grey-black dial typical of this model.

The Quickster's strap is changed by removing the two lateral spring bars using a dedicated tool or small hammer with lever. Position the watch with the lug facing upward, gently push the spring bar from the opposite side toward the centre, and once released, slide the old strap out of the case. Insert the new strap by sliding one spring bar at a time into the case space. The operation takes 3–5 minutes with experience.

Yes, absolutely. Any 20-millimetre strap is compatible with the Quickster, provided the spring bars are identical in diameter and length. Artisanal aftermarket straps often offer superior construction quality compared to Tissot OEM straps, particularly in leather choice: you can select from vegetable-tanned leather, alligator, shell cordovan, and technical materials such as NATO and rubber—all interchangeable.

A quality leather strap on a sports watch such as the Quickster lasts 3–5 years with daily wear, depending on tanning method (vegetable or mineral), the wearer's lifestyle, and maintenance. Vegetable-tanned leather tends to develop a protective patina with ageing, extending lifespan; very humid or arid environments reduce durability. Annual application of natural oil or leather balm significantly extends resistance.
