Strap for T-Race Cycling Chronograph Tour De France 2020

The Tissot T-Race T111.417.37.201.00 features an 11mm lug width. This specific measurement is proportioned to the 44.5mm case diameter and represents the standard width between the case shoulders. Always verify with a digital calliper before ordering a strap, measuring perpendicularly from shoulder to shoulder of the lug, excluding the case terminals.

The best strap choice depends on intended use and aesthetic preference. For a formal-sporty profile, alligator leather with fine grain offers elegance without compromise; for those desiring natural patina over time, vegetable-tanned calf represents the ideal choice; for purely technical vocation and resistance, a technical fabric NATO strap or vulcanised rubber ensures durability and impermeability. All materials are available in 11mm size, ready for immediate dispatch.

Changing the T-Race strap requires a spring bar removal tool. Position the watch on a soft surface, locate the spring bars inside the lugs (visible from the sides), gently compress with the tool until the bar releases, and remove the worn strap. Insert the new strap by aligning the terminals with the lug holes, press the spring bars into position until you hear a click. If preferred, entrust this task to specialist personnel to ensure precision and prevent damage.

Yes, quality aftermarket straps in 11mm size are fully compatible with the T-Race T111.417.37.201.00, provided the lug width is correct. Milano Straps offers a collection of artisanal 11mm straps in alligator, calf, NATO, and rubber, all crafted to superior construction standards and ready for dispatch. Compatibility is guaranteed by the standardised 11mm lug width.

The lifespan of a leather strap depends on material quality, construction standards, intensity of use, and care practices. High-quality alligator or vegetable-tanned calf typically lasts 3-5 years under moderate daily wear, developing natural patina over time. Exposure to moisture, perspiration, and sunlight accelerates ageing; periodic maintenance (light cleaning, drying) and alternating use with other straps extend useful life. Synthetic materials (NATO, rubber) demonstrate greater resistance to mechanical wear and environmental factors, with replacement cycles stretched over longer periods.
