FAQ

What is the lug width of the Tissot Quickster T095.417.17.037.08?

The lug width (ansa width) of the Tissot Quickster T095.417.17.037.08 is 20mm. This measurement represents the distance between the inner shoulders of the lugs and is essential for aftermarket strap compatibility. To verify this measurement correctly, use a digital calliper positioned in the central section of the lug, excluding the conical transitions in the final millimetres close to the case.

Which strap do you recommend for this Tissot model?

The Tissot Quickster T095.417.17.037.08, given its sporting vocation and 42mm case proportions, pairs beautifully with straps in dark vegetable-tanned leather (aged cognac, chocolate brown) for elegant daily wear. For a more athletic context or exposure to humidity, we recommend a NATO strap in neutral tones or a technical rubber option in grey talpa. Shell cordovan represents a sophisticated compromise thanks to its durability and the patina that develops over time.

How do you correctly change the strap on this Tissot watch?

To change the strap on the Tissot Quickster T095.417.17.037.08, proceed as follows: 1) Position the watch on a soft pad to protect the case; 2) Locate the springbar inside the lug using a specialised removing tool or a blunted edge; 3) Apply gentle downward pressure to the spring to disengage it from its seat; 4) Remove the old strap and insert the new one, aligning the lateral holes; 5) Release the spring, which should snap into the locking position. Ensure the spring is fully inserted on both sides before wearing the watch.

Is a 20mm aftermarket strap compatible with the Tissot Quickster T095.417.17.037.08?

Yes, any strap with a 20mm lug width is compatible with the Tissot Quickster T095.417.17.037.08. Compatibility is guaranteed by the standardised 20mm measurement. Always verify that the strap is constructed with quality springbars, preferably in stainless steel, to ensure durable retention over time and protect the lug seats from scratches or wear.

How long does a leather strap last on a sports watch like the Quickster?

The lifespan of a leather strap depends on the material, usage and environmental conditions. A quality vegetable-tanned leather strap, used daily on a sports watch such as the Quickster T095.417.17.037.08, maintains structural integrity between 2 and 4 years. Frequent exposure to moisture, direct sunlight or extreme temperatures reduces this timeframe. Shell cordovan, thanks to its fibre density, guarantees superior longevity (4-6 years in intensive use). To extend your strap's life, avoid prolonged water immersion, occasionally apply a neutral conditioner and store it in a dry environment.
