Strap for Supersport Chrono PVD / Black / Bracelet

The lug width of the Tissot Supersport T125.617.33.051.00 is 22 mm. This measurement is defined as the distance between the two internal lugs where the watch strap is installed. A 22 mm lug width is specific to this model and allows for precise aftermarket strap selection, avoiding compatibility errors that could damage the case or strap.

The Tissot Supersport T125.617.33.051.00, with its 45.50 mm case diameter and aluminium and stainless steel construction, pairs ideally with vegetable-tanned leather straps (alligator or calf) to elevate aesthetics, or NATO fabric straps for maximum versatility and practicality. For intensive use or aquatic environments, an FKM rubber strap offers superior grip and durability whilst maintaining correct visual proportions thanks to the 22 mm lug width.

Strap replacement involves removing the spring bars that connect the strap lugs to the case lugs. Using a dedicated spring bar tool, press the small button on the spring bar, gently extract the pin, remove the old strap, and install the new 22 mm strap by aligning the lugs with the case openings. The operation requires moderate precision to avoid scratching the case.

Any strap with a 22 mm lug width is compatible with the Tissot Supersport T125.617.33.051.00. This includes natural leather straps (calf, alligator with vegetable tanning), NATO fabric, synthetic rubber (FKM) and steel. It is important to verify that the lug width is exactly 22 mm to avoid looseness or mechanical strain on the case lugs.

The lifespan of a leather strap depends on the material and usage patterns. A vegetable-tanned calf strap worn daily on a 45.50 mm watch such as the Supersport T125.617.33.051.00 has an estimated useful life of 18 to 36 months. Exposure to water, perspiration, and ultraviolet radiation accelerates ageing. An alligator strap with vegetable tanning, structurally more resistant, can achieve 4 to 5 years of regular use. Maintenance (cleaning, conditioning with vegetable oils) significantly extends longevity.
