The Heritage

The Tissot T-Race Chronograph T141.817.97.111.00 is a 38mm stainless steel sports chronograph with ceramic bezel and mother-of-pearl accents. It features an ETA G10.212 AB quartz movement with split-second chronograph, hours, minutes, small seconds, and date display. The 11mm lug width is a non-standard measurement critical for proper strap fitment, requiring precision to avoid slippage or misalignment with spring bars. This model represents Tissot's contemporary evolution of motorsport-inspired tool watches, combining technical robustness with refined material composition across steel, ceramic, and mother-of-pearl elements.

FAQ

What is the lug width of the Tissot T-Race T141.817.97.111.00?

The Tissot T-Race T141.817.97.111.00 features a lug width of 11 millimetres. This measurement is taken internally between the two lugs of the case. It is a non-standard dimension that requires straps specifically manufactured for this width, excluding the majority of universal straps available in the market.

What is the best strap for the Tissot T-Race T141.817.97.111.00?

For this model, an alligator strap in black or dark brown offers the finest aesthetic balance, emphasising the iridescent mother-of-pearl bezel and the stainless steel case. Alternatively, a calf leather strap from vegetable tanning in cognac or burgundy tones creates a warm and sophisticated contrast. For sportive uses, a black or navy NATO strap maintains the racing identity of the timepiece.

How do you change the strap on the Tissot T-Race T141.817.97.111.00?

Strap replacement is performed by removing the spring bars using a dedicated watch tool. Position the tool beneath the spring bar, apply gentle upward pressure until the spring mechanism releases, then carefully extract it. Repeat for the second bar. Reverse the procedure for installation of the new strap, ensuring both spring bars are fully secured.

Which aftermarket straps are compatible with the Tissot T-Race T141.817.97.111.00?

Only straps with an 11-millimetre lug width are compatible. Available materials include alligator, calf leather, shell cordovan, NATO fabric, and FKM rubber. Milano Straps offers a comprehensive collection of customisable straps for this width, selected according to excellent quality standards and ready for rapid dispatch.

What is the average lifespan of a leather strap for the Tissot T-Race T141.817.97.111.00?

A high-quality leather strap (alligator or vegetable-tanned calf) under normal usage conditions has a lifespan of 3–5 years. Longevity depends on frequency of use, exposure to water and humidity, and the regularity of maintenance (periodic cleaning and conditioning). NATO fabric and FKM rubber straps offer superior resistance to humid and aquatic environments, with potential lifespans exceeding 7–10 years.
