Strap for Aquis Chronograph 46 Titanium / Grey / Bracelet

The Oris Aquis 01 674 7655 7253-07 8 26 75PEB features a 26mm lug width. This measurement is specific to the full-size 46mm versions and ensures harmonious proportions between case and strap. To verify compatibility, measure the distance between the two internal holes of the lugs (where the spring pin seats): you should find exactly 26mm.

The ideal strap depends on intended use. For diving and water: vulcanised rubber or nylon NATO in high-tensile weave. For everyday elegance: vegetable-tanned alligator in brown or black. For sporty versatility: satin calf leather colour-matched to the titanium case's neutral tones. We recommend pairing with natural materials to enhance the titanium's patina development over time.

Strap changes require no specialised tools. The lugs on your Aquis accommodate standard coil spring bars: gently push the spring toward the case interior using a small screwdriver or dedicated tool, remove the old strap, slide the new strap through the lug hole, and release the spring. Ensure the spring is fully seated in the lateral grooves of the lug. With NATO straps, the procedure is even simpler: thread it directly through the lugs without removing any springs.

Yes, any strap with a 26mm lug width is compatible with the Oris Aquis 01 674 7655 7253-07 8 26 75PEB. We recommend straps in alligator, shell cordovan, vegetable-tanned leather, rubber, and NATO from certified specialists. Always verify the strap is 26mm by measuring between the internal holes. Avoid cordovan straps if you plan frequent saltwater diving, as the material is sensitive to prolonged hydration.

A natural leather strap (alligator, calf, cordovan) subjected to regular diving lasts approximately 1-2 years before requiring replacement or professional restoration. Freshwater exposure accelerates deterioration. For frequent underwater use of the Aquis, alternate leather straps (daily/dry wear only) with vulcanised rubber or NATO for dives. A rubber strap lasts 3-5 years with proper care. Vegetable-tanned leather ages better than chemically treated leather, developing a patina that enhances character.
