Strap for Racing-Touch Black / Rubber

The lug width of the Tissot Touch T002.520.17.201.01 is 20 mm. This measurement, expressed in millimetres between the two inner lugs, determines compatibility with aftermarket straps. It is essential to measure correctly by positioning a calliper from the inner edges of the lugs, excluding any protruding caseback or bezel.

For the T002.520.17.201.01, we recommend alligator in dark tones (black, brown, navy blue) for discreet elegance, or NATO in reinforced technical fabric to emphasise the multifunction character of the watch. Vegetable-tanned calf leather offers an affordable compromise between aesthetics and maintenance. Vulcanised rubber guarantees complete water resistance in sporting contexts.

Remove the strap using a springbar tool (thin steel rod). Position the tip of the tool in the internal hole of the lug barrel, lift the spiral spring and slide the springbar out. Repeat from the other side. For installation, align the holes of the new strap with the springbars and press firmly until you feel the click of spring closure.

Yes, provided the lug width is exactly 20 mm. Straps from Casati Milano and Milano Straps, manufactured to Swiss tolerances, guarantee perfect fit without oscillation. Always verify that the barrels and springbar seats are intact and free from oxidation, as poor mechanical contact compromises safety.

A quality leather strap (alligator or vegetable-tanned calf) typically lasts 3–5 years with daily wear, depending on exposure to moisture, perspiration and temperature variations. Vegetable tanning ages elegantly, developing natural patina. Clean monthly with a soft damp cloth, avoid prolonged water immersion. Replace when barrels show flexing or tears at critical points.
