Frequently asked questions
What is the lug width of the Tissot Touch Collection T121.420.47.051.04?
The lug width is 23mm. This dimension, measured between the inner lugs of the case, is specific to the T121.420.47.051.04 model and ensures harmonious proportions across the 47.50mm case diameter. To verify compatibility, use a digital calliper positioned at the inner extremities of the attachment bars.
Which strap material do you recommend for the Tissot Touch Collection?
Alligator represents the pinnacle of quality: its three-dimensional grain enhances the titanium and ceramic case whilst developing an extraordinary patina over time. Vegetable-tanned calf offers elegance and sustainability. For sportive iterations, technical fabric NATO straps or FKM rubber keep the wrist cool and resist saltwater exposure. Shell cordovan, if available, constitutes the rarest option.
How do you change the strap on a watch with 23mm lugs?
Use a spring bar removal tool to apply pressure to the extremities of the attachment bars, releasing the internal spring. Remove the worn strap, insert the new bar into the case lug hole, and allow the spring to return to its natural position. Verify that the attachment is secure by gently pulling the strap downward. With titanium and ceramic cases, avoid accidental impacts during the operation.
Is an aftermarket 23mm strap compatible with the Tissot Touch T121.420.47.051.04?
Yes, provided the strap is dimensioned precisely at 23mm and features standard attachment bars. Milano Straps produces bespoke 23mm straps specifically tested for this model, with stainless steel or titanium bars. We recommend verifying specifications with the manufacturer prior to purchase, as certain vintage variants may require adaptations.
What is the lifespan of a leather strap for the Tissot Touch Collection?
A first-grade alligator strap, subject to regular maintenance (cleaning with a damp cloth, conditioning every six months), lasts 5–8 years under moderate daily wear. Calf leather, less dense, has an average lifespan of 3–5 years. Constant exposure to sunlight, perspiration, and humidity accelerates ageing. An FKM rubber strap lasts 3–4 years before losing elasticity. Rotating between multiple straps significantly extends the longevity of each.
