Strap for Aquis Date 36 Stainless Steel / Blue / Bracelet

The Oris Aquis 01 733 7652 4135-07 8 18 01P features a 20-millimetre lug width. This measurement represents the distance between the case suspension pins and is essential for selecting compatible straps. Precise measurement ensures the absence of mechanical stress during strap changes.

The ideal strap depends on usage context and dial colour. For a formally elegant profile, we recommend alligator with vegetable tanning in dark brown or burgundy tones. For robust daily wear, vegetable-tanned calf develops reliable patina over time. For frequent water activities, cotton-polyester NATO or vulcanised rubber offer superior resilience.

Strap replacement requires a dedicated tool (spring bar tool). Position the tool's flat end beneath the suspension pin, apply gentle upward pressure to disengage, then extract the pin. Repeat for the second side. Insert the new strap by securing the pins in their housings until you hear the audible click indicating proper seating.

Yes. Any strap with a 20mm lug width is mechanically compatible. Aesthetic compatibility depends on visual coherence between strap thickness, leather texture and buckle design relative to the proportions of the 36mm case.

A quality vegetable-tanned leather strap on a lightweight model like the Aquis 36mm typically lasts 3–5 years with moderate daily wear. Longevity increases if limited to occasional use (5–8 years). Factors accelerating wear: frequent water exposure, salt sweat, temperature extremes. Vulcanised rubber resists longer in harsh climates but ages differently.
