This Tower pressure cooker has Gasket External Diameter approx 25.5 cm and Internal Diameter approx 23 cm.

It is usually the reduction of the elasticity of seals that causes them to fail with age/use and not shrinkage. I suggest that you take the part to a well established parts shop and see if there is an alternative seal of the same dimensions. Or you could compare the measured dimensions of your seal for seals from other cookers online, and take punt. Some of the Tower models seem to be the same as Fagor models and with those Fagor seals fit, for example.

I have had no luck in obtaining this gasket so I had to resort to getting a secondhand tower pressure cooker on e.bay...It's fine and didn't cost much more than the price of a modern type of lid gasket!!
If you want to replace your cooker a good tip is to read the customer reviews on Amazon...I did, and that is why I went for another Tower!!!!!

I am also trying to find a gasket for my Tower PC 2603 - did you have any luck?

Do you have a picture of this cooker ?

I have a few different sizes of gaskets and spares.
