Strap for Savonnette Mechanical Yellow Gold / White - Roman

The lug width of the Tissot T-Pocket T867.405.39.013.00 is 20 mm. This measurement must be respected with minimal tolerance (±0.5 mm) to ensure correct adhesion to the case lugs and absence of unwanted play during daily wear.

The best strap depends on intended use and aesthetic preference. For formal contexts, we recommend alligator or vegetable-tanned calf leather, which confer sartorial elegance and develop unique patina over time. For robust daily use, shell cordovan offers extraordinary longevity. For maximum versatility, a NATO strap in canvas or technical rubber ensures practicality and weather resistance.

To change the strap, position the watch on a soft surface. Use a dedicated spring bar tool or blunt object to gently push the bar shoulder through the lug outward. Repeat on the other side. Reverse the procedure to insert the new strap, ensuring the bars are fully seated in the case lugs with no residual play.

An aftermarket strap is compatible if it features a 20 mm lug width. It is essential to verify this specification before purchase to avoid adhesion issues. Artisanal 20 mm straps of quality craftsmanship guarantee precise manufacturing tolerances and noble materials, offering significant upgrade over standard OEM straps.

Durability depends on material and use. Vegetable-tanned calf, with proper maintenance (periodic cleaning and conditioning), lasts 5-10 years. Shell cordovan, thanks to its superior cellular density, can last over 20 years. Premium alligator lasts 8-15 years. Vegetable tanning naturally patinates, enhancing aesthetics with use, while economy synthetic straps deteriorate in 2-3 years.
