Strap for Oris Aquis 01 733 7652 4195

The lug width of the Oris Aquis 01 733 7652 4195 is precisely 18mm. This measurement represents the distance between the two spring bar attachment points on the case. Always verify this specification before purchasing any aftermarket strap.

The choice depends on intended use. For formal elegance and aesthetic patina development, Tuscan leather or alligator are ideal. For daily comfort and minimal maintenance, vegetable-tanned calf offers superior softness. For water resistance and rapid drying, vulcanised rubber is the technical solution. NATO straps in cotton provide versatility and quick moisture evaporation.

The Aquis features a standard case with fixed lugs and spring bars. To remove the strap, use a spring bar removal tool or dedicated extractor. Insert the tool into the lateral hole of the lug, gently compress the spring and extract the bar. Repeat on both sides. Install the new strap by reversing the procedure, ensuring the springs click into position securely.

Any strap with an 18mm lug width is compatible. This includes leather (crocodile, calf, chrome-tanned), NATO, canvas, rubber and even stainless steel mesh. Ensure the body thickness does not exceed 3.5-4mm to guarantee proper fit against the case without forcing.

Longevity depends on material and usage patterns. A quality alligator or vegetable-tanned calf strap can last 4-6 years with regular care. Vegetable tanning ages more gracefully than chrome tanning, developing rich patina. Prolonged sun exposure, constant moisture and perspiration accelerate deterioration. A cotton NATO strap has similar lifespan but requires frequent cleaning for hygiene maintenance.
