Strap for SRV Yellow Gold / Black MOP

The lug width of the Tissot SRV T160.110.36.126.00 is 12mm. This measurement represents the internal distance between the two case lugs (the attachment points for the strap). To verify with precision, measure with a digital calliper the internal space between the lugs, perpendicular to the watch's axis. It is essential to respect this exact dimension to ensure a perfect strap fit.

For the Tissot SRV T160.110.36.126.00, the choice depends on intended use. Alligator leather is ideal for formal and tailored contexts, as its microscopic texture dialogues perfectly with the watch's elegant proportions. Vegetable-tanned calf offers a softer patina with natural aging. NATO straps in Cordura canvas maintain formal coherence with sportier territoriality. FKM rubber straps guarantee daily practicality without aesthetic compromise.

Strap replacement requires simple tools: a spring bar tool or a very thin screwdriver. Position the watch with the lug facing upward, locate the small metal spring on the lug side, and gently push downward to release the spring. This allows the metal pin to slide out. Repeat for both lugs. Install the new 12mm strap by reversing the procedure. Alternatively, Casati Milano offers installation service by appointment at the tailoring atelier.

A 12mm strap is compatible exclusively with watches possessing the same 12mm lug width. It is not universal: each brand (Omega, Seiko, Hamilton, Patek Philippe) and each model has different lug widths—typically 16mm, 18mm, 20mm or 22mm. Milano Straps catalogs dedicated 12mm straps to guarantee perfect compatibility with the T160.110.36.126.00 and equivalent models.

Leather strap longevity depends on the tanning method and usage patterns. Alligator leather with vegetable tanning maintains structural functionality for 5-7 years of daily use, after which the skin fibres tend to become fragile. Box calf leather typically lasts 3-5 years. Leather aging is gradual: colour deepens, patina becomes richer. Maintenance—avoiding excessive moisture, occasionally applying nourishing creams—significantly extends functional and aesthetic lifespan.
