Strap for T-Race MotoGP 2023 Limited Edition

The lug width (lug to lug measurement) of the Tissot T-Race T141.417.37.057.01 is 14mm. This dimension is specific to this reference and requires a strap constructed to precisely this width. To verify, place the watch on a flat surface and measure the internal space between the two lugs at the strap seat using a digital calliper: it must be exactly 14mm.

The ideal strap depends on usage and aesthetic preference. For an elegant approach, we recommend cognac or black alligator leather, or vegetable-tanned calf. For those seeking practicality and durability, a thick nylon or cotton NATO strap preserves the sporty spirit of the T-Race. Treated rubber is the best choice for motorsport or athletic activities.

The procedure is straightforward: remove the watch from your wrist and place it on a soft surface. Use a spring bar removal tool to gently push the spring bar pin inward from inside, whilst simultaneously lifting the strap. Once the pin is extracted, the old strap separates from the lugs. Insert the new strap in the same position and reposition the pin until it clicks firmly into place with an audible snap.

Yes, any strap manufactured with a 14mm lug width is fully compatible. Milano Straps offers handcrafted straps in various materials—leather, alligator, NATO, rubber—all tested and suitable for this case. Compatibility is guaranteed by exact correspondence of the lug width dimension.

Longevity depends on leather quality, intensity of wear and care. A high-quality vegetable-tanned leather strap, worn 4–5 days weekly, has an average usable life of 3–5 years before the leather exhibits significant wear. Alligator, being more resilient, may last 5–7 years. Rubber, being non-porous, has potentially unlimited lifespan if kept clean. The natural patina that develops is not deterioration, but acquired character.
