Strap for Racing-Touch Black / Rubber

The Tissot Touch T002.520.17.051.00 features a 20mm lug width. This dimension represents the distance between the two internal lugs of the case where the strap attaches. To verify the measurement, position a digital calliper or rigid ruler perpendicular to the lugs and measure the available internal space precisely.

We primarily recommend an alligator strap with fine grain for the T002.520.17.051.00, as it complements the brushed stainless steel case and emphasises the technical character of the watch. Alternatively, shell cordovan in châtaigne offers natural patina development over time. A NATO strap in charcoal grey fabric provides the most versatile option for outdoor environments, whilst natural rubber is ideal for water use, offering superior thermal comfort.

The Tissot Touch uses internal spring bar lugs for strap attachment. To remove the current strap, use a spring bar tool to compress the internal spring and extract the pin from its seat. Align the new strap's passant under the compressed spring and release. If you are unfamiliar with this procedure, we recommend professional assistance from Casati Milano for secure strap replacement.

This is not recommended. Although the T002.520.17.051.00 uses a standard 20mm lug width compatible with many other models, the strap's passant width and material stiffness must be proportioned to the 43mm case diameter and overall weight to ensure comfort and proper section visibility. Select a strap specifically designed for watches in this format and weight class.

A quality leather strap—whether alligator, shell cordovan, or vegetable-tanned calf—typically lasts between 3 and 5 years depending on daily use, water exposure, and humidity levels. Vegetable tanning in particular ages nobly over time. To extend lifespan, avoid prolonged exposure to direct moisture and perform biannual maintenance with dedicated leather care products. After wear, request replacement through Casati Milano.
