Strap for T-Race Cycling Chronograph Stainelss Steel / Blue

The Tissot T-Race T111.417.37.441.05 features a 18 mm lug width. This dimension is specific to this model and ensures harmonious proportions on the 44.50 mm diameter case. You can verify it by measuring the distance between the two horns of the case where the strap is inserted.

For the T-Race T111.417.37.441.05, we recommend straps in vegetable-tanned alligator for an elegant-sporty aesthetic, or naturally tanned calf leather in dark shades for those who appreciate natural patina development. For those preferring pure sporting versatility, a NATO or butyl rubber amplify the racing character of the model. Avoid delicate leathers: the T-Race has an inherently aggressive personality, and the strap must respect this language.

The change requires a specific tool called a spring bar remover. Locate the small springs hidden in the case lugs. Using the remover, apply gentle vertical pressure to release the spring on one side, then remove the old strap. Insert the new strap by engaging the spring on the other side and verify it is firmly anchored. If unsure, consult a professional watchmaker.

Yes, any strap with an 18 mm lug width is compatible. Verify that the thickness is not excessive (generally under 4-5 mm at the lug insertion) and that the strap length is proportionate to an adult wrist (approximately 115-130 mm of usable length). milanostraps.it straps are designed to ensure optimal compatibility with this category of watches.

Durability depends on the material and usage. Vegetable-tanned alligator lasts 3-5 years with daily wear, thanks to the natural robustness of the skin. Naturally tanned calf has similar lifespan but requires occasional maintenance (light water-repellent treatments). A NATO or rubber resists 5-7 years without aesthetic deterioration. Rotating between multiple straps significantly extends the life of each one.
