Strap for T-My Automatic Stainless Steel / Ice Blue

The Tissot T-Lady T132.007.11.351.00 features a lug width of 21 mm (measured from inner shoulder to inner shoulder). This is a specific measurement that does not align with common commercial standards (16, 18, 20 mm). To verify, position a digital calliper between the two lugs of the watch; the reading will be exactly 21.00 mm.

For the T-Lady T132.007.11.351.00, we recommend alligator straps with vegetable tanning (natural finish), full-grain European calf leather, or NATO fabric with tight weave. For daily resilience, medical-grade FKM rubber is a robust choice. Selection depends on context: pure elegance (alligator), daily wear with developing patina (calf), durability (NATO or rubber).

Strap replacement on the T132.007.11.351.00 is performed using standard spring bars. With a dedicated spring bar tool or the blunt end of a small screwdriver, release the internal spring of the bar beneath one lug, remove the bar, then remove the old strap. Insert the new strap by threading it through the lug hole, reposition the spring bar and release the spring until it catches. Note: spring bars can be quite stiff; avoid bending them aggressively.

Yes, provided the strap has exactly 21 mm lug width. Most commercial aftermarket straps are available in standard sizes (16, 18, 20 mm), so compatibility must be verified before purchase. Bespoke, handcrafted straps ensure perfect fit to the spring bars and eliminate play or visual distortion.

A quality vegetable-tanned leather strap on a dress watch like the T-Lady, which is not subjected to extreme stress, typically lasts 4–7 years in moderate use (3–5 days per week). Longevity depends on climate, humidity, frequency of wear, and maintenance (periodic hydration with natural balms). Very humid climates shorten strap life; dry environments extend it. NATO or rubber straps have significantly superior durability, exceeding 10 years.
