Blue Ostrich Leg Strap for Tissot PRX 40mm
The Tissot PRX 40mm is built around an integrated case, so a strap has to meet the lugs as a shaped end rather than thread through on a straight spring bar. Drop a generic straight-end strap onto it and you get a gap at the case corner and leather that sits proud of the lugs. This one was cut as a blue ostrich leg strap for the Tissot PRX, finished to follow the case line the way the factory steel bracelet does.
It shipped to British Columbia, sized for a 7.1-inch (18 cm) wrist, with a deployant clasp in place of a pin buckle.

Why these choices
The PRX wears its case and bracelet as one piece, which is most of its appeal and also the reason it is awkward to re-strap. A standard lug strap stops at the spring bar and leaves the open corner of the case showing. The fix is a strap end shaped to the PRX opening, so the leather begins where the case ends with no daylight between them. That shaping is the real work on this build; the rest is picking leather that suits a steel sports watch.
Blue ostrich leg is a solid answer. Ostrich leg leather carries a natural scaled grain — fine, raised plates that run the length of the strap — so it reads as more technical than smooth calf and gives the eye some texture against the brushed steel case. In blue it leans into the cooler tones the PRX dial is known for instead of chasing a bracelet finish that leather can never copy, which moves the watch toward dress without losing its sporty side. That distinctive grain is the main reason to choose it over the usual calf or crocodile on a steel sports watch.
The deployant clasp keeps the leather off a daily fold, so a strap sized to a 7.1-inch (18 cm) wrist bends at the hinge rather than across the grain. On an integrated watch that comes on and off over a cuff, the clasp also makes it easier to seat the shaped ends the same way every time, which matters more here than on a plain lug watch where a strap can sit a millimeter off without showing.

FAQ
Can you make an ostrich leg strap for a Tissot PRX? Yes. The PRX strap is cut to the integrated case rather than to a flat lug, so an ostrich leg strap for the Tissot PRX is made to order in the leather and color you pick, with a pin buckle or a deployant clasp.
Will an off-the-shelf strap fit the PRX 40mm? A straight-end strap will pin in, but it leaves a visible gap at the case corner and never sits flush against the case. A strap shaped to the PRX opening is what closes that gap.
This one was built to order for a single PRX owner. For the same fitment in another hide, start with our made-to-fit Tissot PRX leather strap, or browse ostrich leather watch straps and blue leather watch straps from our custom leather watch strap range.
