Strap for Oris Aquis 01 733 7652 4151

The lug width is 18mm. This dimension is standard for this 36mm Aquis model and represents the perfect attachment between the case and the strap, ensuring balanced aesthetics and practical functionality, especially when diving with a neoprene wetsuit.

For the Oris Aquis 01 733 7652 4151, we recommend vegetable-tanned leather straps (thickness 1.4-1.6mm) for a refined look and natural ageing, or vulcanised rubber for actual maritime use. Leather offers aesthetic versatility and natural patina development; rubber provides absolute marine durability. Avoid oversized straps that disrupt the proportions of the 36mm case.

Position the watch on a soft surface. Use a spring bar tool to gently push the pin towards the case body from one side, releasing the lug. Repeat on the other side. Insert the new strap by aligning the lugs and reinserting the pins with uniform pressure until a definitive click is felt. Never use hammers or blunt instruments.

Yes, any strap with an 18mm lug width is mechanically compatible. However, verify total length: for an average wrist (16-17cm), we recommend at least 270-290mm total. Material and thickness affect comfort and aesthetics, but not structural compatibility.

A quality vegetable-tanned leather strap with 18mm lugs typically lasts 4-6 years of daily wear, developing visible patina within the first 3-4 months. Direct sun exposure accelerates ageing (positively); constant humidity (sweat, fresh water) requires regular drying. Marine rubber maintains integrity for 8-12 years before hardening.
