Strap for Chrono XL Khaki PVD / Beige

The lug width of the Tissot XL T116.617.37.267.01 is 22mm. This measurement corresponds to the distance between the metal pins anchoring the strap. Always verify this measurement before ordering an aftermarket strap, as incorrect sizing can result in incompatibility.

A vegetable-tanned leather strap in tobacco brown offers the optimal balance between aesthetics and functionality for this sports chronograph. However, the choice depends on usage: alligator for formal contexts, NATO for versatility and ease of change, rubber for professional diving. The 22mm lug width ensures full compatibility with all available materials.

To change the strap, remove the metal pins anchoring it to the case. Use a spring bar tool to compress the internal springs of the pins, allowing extraction. Insert the new strap and reinsert the pins until the click closes. We recommend this operation at an authorised Tissot centre to avoid pin damage.

Yes, provided it is sized at 22mm lug width. Quality artisanal straps (vegetable-tanned, alligator, calf leather) are fully compatible. Milano Straps supplies straps specifically dimensioned for this measurement, ready for installation and crafted with traditional sustainable techniques.

Durability depends on material and usage. A quality vegetable-tanned leather strap typically lasts 3–5 years with daily wear, developing a natural patina that enhances aesthetic character. Rubber and NATO straps have similar lifecycles. Regular maintenance (gentle cleaning, post-immersion drying) significantly extends longevity.
