Strap for Tissot T-race Automatic MotoGP 2022

The lug width of the Tissot T-Race T115.427.27.057.01 is 22mm. This measurement refers to the internal space between the lugs of the case, measured edge to edge. Verifying this dimension is essential before ordering a replacement strap to ensure both mechanical and aesthetic compatibility.

The choice depends on your intended use. For daily elegance, an alligator leather or vegetable-tanned leather strap in brown or black tones enhances sophistication. For authentic sporting use, a NATO in regenerated fibre or vulcanised rubber strap preserves the motorsport character. A steel deployante on leather provides comfort and protection from torsional stress.

The change is straightforward: you require a spring bar tool (a small specialist instrument) to gently lift the internal lugs of the lugs. No watchmaking skills are needed. Position the watch with one hand, insert the tool under the spring, lift the end of the spring, and slide the pin out. Repeat on the other side. Install the new strap in reverse order.

Yes, provided the lug width is exactly 22mm. Quality artisanal straps (leather, rubber, NATO) are fully compatible. Always verify that the supplier specifies the lug width and that the strap has no collar (anomalous narrowing) that would prevent the lugs from sliding in correctly.

Durability varies depending on leather type and usage. A natural alligator strap lasts 3–5 years with moderate wear. Vegetable-tanned leather, being more absorbent, lasts 2–3 years with frequent exposure. Vulcanised rubber exceeds 4–5 years. Ageing is part of the appeal: straps develop visible natural patina, a testament to actual use.
