Strap for Tradition Quartz 42 Rose Gold / Blue

The lug width of the Tissot Tradition T063.610.36.047.00 is precisely 20 millimetres. This measurement should be verified by measuring the distance between the two spring bar protruding points on the case. A 20mm strap fits perfectly with the 42mm stainless steel case, maintaining harmonious proportions and preventing undesirable visual effects.

The choice depends on your intended use: an alligator strap of superior quality elevates the model for formal occasions, emphasizing the natural leather colour against the brushed steel case. A vegetable-tanned calf leather represents maximum versatility, developing a unique patina over time. Nylon NATO straps maintain the vintage identity of the dial with daily practicality, while structured rubber is ideal for physical activities and travel.

The Tradition T063.610.36.047.00 is equipped with spring bars located at the 12 and 6 o'clock positions on the case. Using a dedicated extraction tool (available at specialist ateliers), apply gentle inward pressure on the spring bar until it retracts, allowing you to remove the guide. Once the original strap is removed, insert the new 20mm strap by aligning its slots with the extracted spring bar, then reposition the spring bar until it locks into place.

Yes. Any strap with a 20-millimetre lug width is compatible with the T063.610.36.047.00. Specialist ateliers such as Casati Milano produce artisanal straps in alligator, calf, shell cordovan, structured rubber and NATO specifically crafted for this lug width. Before purchasing, always verify that the supplier clearly specifies the 20mm lug width.

The lifespan of a leather strap depends on the material and usage. A quality vegetable-tanned calf leather strap can last 3 to 5 years with daily wear, developing a fascinating patina over time. Alligator and shell cordovan, thanks to their natural fibre density, extend this lifespan to 7-10 years. Leather requires maintenance: avoid prolonged water exposure, periodically inspect spring bars to prevent excessive wear, and consider replacement when the leather becomes brittle at flex points.
