Strap for T-Race MotoGP

The lug width of the Tissot T-Race T115.417.27.051.01 is 12mm, a non-standard dimension that requires straps specifically manufactured with spring bars of this exact width. Measure this distance from the inner shoulder of one lug bar to the other to verify compatibility of any aftermarket strap.

The T-Race responds excellently to three categories: black or cognac alligator for vintage racing aesthetics, tamped calfskin in vegetable tanning for raw texture and dramatic ageing, or black FKM/neoprene rubber for pure sports performance. Your choice depends on predominant use: formal-sporty, versatile daily wear, or competitive.

Position the watch on a soft pad. Use a spring bar tool (lever with twin tips) to gently depress the bayonet spring of the lug. Once one shoulder of the bar is freed, extract the worn strap. Insert the new strap by threading one shoulder first, then depress the spring again and seat the other shoulder. Verify that the bar is fully seated.

Yes. Milano Straps manufactures custom 12mm straps in alligator, calfskin, NATO and rubber, all compatible with the T-Race. These straps are bespoke-crafted at the Casati Milano atelier and available in numerous colour and finish variations, with optional quick-release deployant clasps.

A quality leather strap (alligator or vegetable-tanned calfskin) typically lasts 3–5 years with regular daily wear. Longevity depends on sun exposure, humidity and frequency of wearing. We recommend rotating straps if you own multiple variants. Occasional maintenance with neutral balm significantly extends operational life.
