Strap for T-My Automatic Stainless Steel / Pink

The lug width of the T132.007.11.336.00 is 21.00 mm. This dimension represents the distance between the two case lugs and must be respected rigorously when selecting a strap. Undersized straps will produce lateral play; oversized straps will create unwanted compression.

The choice depends on the occasion. For formal wear: alligator or vegetable-tanned calf leather in neutral tones (black, brown, burgundy). For everyday use: smooth calf or NATO nylon. For water activities: vulcanised technical rubber (FKM). The 29.30 mm case requires straps that frame rather than compete with the dial visually.

Strap replacement requires a dedicated tool (spring bar tool) to compress the return springs at the lugs. Position the tool in the lateral notches, gently push inward to release the spring, and extract the old strap. Insert the new strap by aligning the holes with the springs, allowing them to expand into the lug notches. The process demands precision to avoid damaging the lug holes.

Yes, provided they strictly respect the 21.00 mm lug width. Bespoke straps constructed by specialised artisans guarantee zero tolerance and proportions coherent with the case diameter. Avoid generic straps that accommodate multiple millimetre ranges, as the T-Lady's modest proportions amplify even minor measurement discrepancies visually.

Lifespan depends on material and usage frequency. Vegetable-tanned alligator in moderate daily use maintains structural integrity 4–6 years before requiring restoration. Smooth calf has comparable longevity. NATO nylon typically lasts 5–8 years. Technical rubber resists 3–4 years before thinning becomes visible. Factors such as direct sun exposure, constant humidity and friction accelerate degradation. The natural patina of vegetable-tanned leather represents growing aesthetic value over time, not deterioration.
