Strap for Supersport Chrono Basketball Edition

The lug width of the Tissot Supersport T125.617.36.081.00 is 22mm. This width is specific to this model and ensures correct visual proportions with the 45.50mm case. To verify compatibility, measure the internal distance between the lugs: it must be exactly 22mm with a tolerance of ±0.5mm.

The best strap depends on usage and aesthetic preference. For everyday elegance, we recommend vegetable-tanned calf leather in tobacco brown or black. For those seeking maximum durability and sophistication, alligator in dark tones is ideal. For authentic sporty character with evolving patina, shell cordovan in Bordeaux offers narrative development. For humid environments, natural rubber preserves functionality and readability.

Strap replacement is straightforward. Position the watch face-down on a soft surface. Use a spring bar tool to gently push inward on the small metal terminal of each lug. Once lifted, the strap disengages easily. Insert the new strap by aligning the holes with the lugs and press until you hear a click of closure.

Any strap with a 22mm lug width is compatible with the Tissot Supersport T125.617.36.081.00. On milanostraps.it you will find a curated selection of 22mm straps in leather, rubber and nato, all tested for compatibility with this model. Always verify that the strap holes correspond to the original lugs.

A quality leather strap (calf, alligator or cordovan) on a chronograph wristwatch like the T125.617.36.081.00 has a lifespan of 4-7 years with daily use, depending on tanning method, UV exposure and perspiration level. Vegetable tanning develops patina and darkens naturally, whilst materials like alligator and cordovan offer superior wear resistance.
