Strap for Seastar 1000 Powermatic 80 40 Stainless Steel - Rose Gold / Grey / Bracelet

The Tissot Seastar T120.807.22.051.01 is equipped with 20mm lugs. This measurement is determined by the distance between the vertical pins of the case and represents the available space for the strap. It is essential to verify this dimension before ordering an aftermarket strap, as a non-conforming lug width would result in poor fit and instability during wear.

For the Seastar T120.807.22.051.01, we recommend alligator straps with vegetable tanning, shell cordovan, or Italian vegetable-tanned calf leather. These materials balance the watch's sportiness with refined craftsmanship. For aquatic contexts, a cotton-blend NATO or vulcanised rubber ensures performance and easy cleaning. The choice depends on primary use: diving? Alligator. Daily urban wear? Shell cordovan or calf leather.

The Seastar T120.807.22.051.01 uses straight spring bars without spring mechanisms. You'll need a spring bar tool (lug removal lever) or a small flat lever. Position the tool on the lower groove of the pin, apply gentle upward pressure, and the pin will slide out of the lug hole. Repeat on the second pin. For installation, push the new strap onto the same pins until they click into place. If inexperienced, have a professional watchmaker perform the service to avoid case damage.

Yes, any 20mm strap is physically compatible. However, quality and fit depend on artisanal construction. A generic strap may present lateral protrusions or an insufficiently calibrated passant. Casati Milano crafts custom straps that respect the exact geometry of your case, ensuring a perfect visual transition between metal and material.

A high-quality leather strap (alligator, shell cordovan, vegetable-tanned calf) typically lasts 5–8 years with daily wear, provided it receives regular maintenance: quick drying after moisture exposure, annual conditioning with vegetable waxes, gentle cleaning. Shell cordovan is the most durable material and can exceed 10 years. Factors such as climate (humidity), cleaning frequency, and exposure to chemical agents (soap, perfumes) influence longevity.
