Strap for Tradition Stainless Steel / Black

The lug width is precisely 20mm, measured from centre to centre of the spring bar holes. This dimension is standard across all Tissot Tradition references and is documented in the official technical specifications.

For formal contexts, alligator or shell cordovan with vegetable tanning provides timeless elegance and patina development; a NATO strap in wool offers versatile sportiness; a calf leather with linear grain balances professional aesthetics with day-to-day adaptability. Choice depends on primary use case.

Use a spring bar tool to gently press inward on the elastic pins, releasing them from the case lugs. Once removed, insert the new spring bars into the aftermarket strap slots, then reinsert into the case lugs until you feel the elastic lock engage securely.

Any strap with a 20mm lug width specification is compatible. We recommend full-grain leather, vegetable-tanned leather, structured rubber, or quality NATO fabric. Milanostraps curates specific 20mm strap selections designed for this exact model.

A vegetable-tanned leather strap lasts 3–5 years with moderate daily wear when properly maintained. Longevity depends on tanning method, frequency of wear, and moisture exposure. Shell cordovan can endure 10+ years due to fibre density and natural oil content.
