Strap for T-Touch Expert Carbon Ti

The lug width of the T013.420.44.201.00 is 21 mm. This measurement is specific to this model and derives from Tissot's ergonomic calculations to balance the reduced weight of the titanium case. To verify the measurement, use a digital calliper and measure the internal distance between the two metal lugs where the strap attaches.

For the T013.420.44.201.00, we recommend alligator leather in brown or tortoiseshell tones, or vegetable-tanned calf in burgundy. Both enhance the modern geometry of the titanium case and create sophisticated contrast with the multifunctional touch dial. For sports use, a silk-cotton NATO or textured black rubber guarantee practicality without aesthetic compromise.

To change the strap, use a spring bar tool. Position the pointed end in the lateral slot beneath the lug, compress the internal spring slightly, and slide the lug from the opposite side. Remove the old strap carefully and insert the new one, aligning the holes with the metal shoulders. For the T-Touch 21 mm lugs, a standard 21.0 mm strap ensures precise locking.

Yes, artisanal 21 mm straps are fully compatible with the T013.420.44.201.00. Standard 21.0 mm lugs fit perfectly into the metal shoulders of the case. MilanoStraps offers customised straps in alligator leather, shell cordovan, calf, NATO, and rubber, all crafted specifically for this measurement.

A quality artisanal leather strap on a 43 mm watch such as the T013.420.44.201.00 typically lasts 3–5 years, depending on frequency of wear, care, and environmental conditions. Alligator leather and shell cordovan offer greater resistance to wear than calf. Regularly applying protective balm extends useful life and develops a richer, more distinctive patina.
