Strap for Aquis Date 36 Stainless Steel / MOP / Bracelet

The Oris Aquis 01 733 7652 4151-07 8 18 01P features a lug width of 18 millimetres. This dimension is measured between the two lateral attachment pins of the case. To verify compatibility with an aftermarket strap, measure this distance precisely using a digital calliper or a millimetre ruler positioned perpendicular to the case lug.

Strap selection depends on your intended use and aesthetic preferences. For a classical-formal profile, we recommend an alligator or vegetable-tanned calf leather strap, which enhances the sophisticated sporting character of the watch. For recreational diving or humid environments, choose FKM rubber or vulcanised rubber. NATO fabric straps offer an authentic sporting interpretation, ideal for those seeking robust texture and British military heritage.

Strap replacement requires extraction of the lateral pins using a spring bar remover (a specialised tool with a forked end). Position the watch with the lug facing towards you, insert the remover from below into the lug opening, push upward to compress the internal spring mechanism of the pin, then extract the pin itself. Repeat the procedure on the opposite lug. Reverse the process to install the new strap, ensuring the pins seat correctly in the attachment holes.

Yes, any strap featuring a lug width of 18 millimetres is compatible with the Oris Aquis 01 733 7652 4151-07 8 18 01P. MilanoStraps provides a selection of handcrafted 18mm straps in leather, NATO, and rubber, all verified for dimensional precision and constructive quality. Compatibility is guaranteed by the standardisation of lug width regardless of strap manufacturer.

The longevity of a leather strap depends on material quality, tanning methodology, and intensity of use. A strap crafted from alligator or vegetable-tanned calf leather, constructed artisanally, maintains structural integrity for 3–5 years of moderate daily wear. Factors reducing longevity include prolonged sun exposure, constant humidity without adequate drying, and frequent contact with acidic perspiration. Preventive maintenance (periodic cleaning with soft cloths, storage in dry environments) significantly extends strap lifespan.
