Strap for Tradition Quartz 42 Stainless Steel - Yellow Gold / Silver / Bracelet

The lug width of the Tissot Tradition T063.610.22.037.00 is 20mm. This dimension is measured between the two horizontal pins that connect the case to the bracelet or strap, excluding the case projection itself. It is essential to verify this measurement before purchasing a compatible strap, as even a deviation of a few tenths of a millimetre would result in imprecise seating.

The Tissot Tradition T063.610.22.037.00 pairs ideally with straps in calf leather or alligator in classic shades such as brown, black or burgundy, which enhance the formal character of the stainless steel case. For more casual contexts, a NATO strap in navy blue or dark grey canvas offers versatility whilst maintaining aesthetic coherence. An FKM rubber strap is the practical choice for high-use environments, preserving durability without compromising finish.

To change the strap, you must remove the pins that connect the case to the current strap using a dedicated tool (spring bar remover). Insert the pin into the hole of the internal spring and extract it gently outwards. Subsequently, position the pins of the new strap in the spaces left empty, ensuring they are firmly seated. It is recommended to perform this operation on a work mat to avoid losing the small components.

Yes, any strap with a lug width of 20mm is compatible with the Tissot Tradition T063.610.22.037.00, regardless of the manufacturer. It is essential to verify that the lug width corresponds exactly to 20mm and that the overall length of the strap is adequate for your wrist circumference, considering that the 42mm case absorbs a significant portion of available space.

The lifespan of a leather strap depends on the quality of the tanning and the intensity of use. A quality artisanal leather with vegetable tanning, used daily under normal conditions, maintains structural integrity for 3-5 years. An alligator or shell cordovan, thanks to the greater fibre density, can exceed a decade. Perspiration, exposure to UV rays and humidity accelerate ageing; regular maintenance with specific balms significantly extends the useful life of the strap.
