Strap for Seastar 1000 Chronograph Quartz 45.5 Stainless Steel / Grey / Rubber

The lug width of the Tissot Seastar T120.417.17.081.01 is 22mm. This measurement is taken perpendicular to the case, from the centre of one lug to the centre of the opposite lug. Any strap designed for 22mm lugs will fit this reference perfectly, ensuring precise alignment and optimal wrist stability during wear.

Selection depends on intended use: for aquatic and sports environments, premium nylon NATO or FKM rubber offer rapid drying and chlorine resistance. For everyday elegant wear, alligator leather in navy or vegetable-tanned calf leather create harmonious visual dialogue with the black dial. Alligator delivers rigidity and chromatic presence; calf develops noble patina over time. All materials are available in 22mm at Milano Straps.

Strap replacement requires a spring bar tool. Position the flat end of the tool beneath the case lug spring bar, apply upward pressure to compress the internal spring mechanism, and slide the old strap free. Repeat on the opposite lug. Insert the new 22mm strap, ensuring alignment with the lug holes, and verify that both bars click firmly into position. The procedure takes approximately three minutes and requires no watchmaking expertise.

Yes, any 22mm lug-width strap is mechanically compatible with the T120.417.17.081.01, provided total strap length is proportionate to the 45.50mm case diameter (typically 110–140mm). Confirm that the case spring bars have standard diameter (usually 1.5mm) and that strap lug holes are correctly dimensioned. Milano Straps' 22mm selections are engineered and tested for Seastar compatibility.

Longevity varies with use and material: alligator or vegetable-tanned calf, worn daily in normal conditions, withstand 3–5 years before significant wear becomes evident (lug edge softening, elasticity loss). Frequent saltwater or chlorine exposure reduces lifespan to 18–24 months. NATO or FKM rubber endure 5–10 years even with intensive use. Regular maintenance—cleaning and drying after water exposure—substantially extends strap lifespan.
