Strap for Aquis Date 36 Stainless Steel / Blue - Diamond / Rubber

The lug width is 18mm. This measurement is specific to the 36mm case, maintaining correct visual proportions between the compact case and strap. When mounting a new strap, ensure it enters without forcing, aligning it perpendicularly to the lugs.

For water sports use: vulcanised rubber or Tropic rubber in black or dark blue for optimal grip when wet. For elegance: high-quality alligator in black or dark brown, developing a natural patina over time. For casual versatility: ballistic NATO in black, grey, or olive green. If worn regularly in water, avoid shell cordovan as it suffers in humid environments.

The Oris Aquis 01 733 7652 4195-07 4 18 34 features integrated lugs (non-removable). Use a spring bar tool: gently insert the flat tip into the small slot beside the lug, lift with steady pressure, and the internal spring bar will retract. Remove the old strap, align the new one (18mm width) with the lugs, and push until you feel the spring bar click back into position.

Yes, absolutely. Milano Straps offers artisanal straps compatible with 18mm lug width, crafted from premium materials including alligator, vegetable-tanned leather, and rubber. Construction quality—integrated keeper, regular stitching, stainless steel deployante buckles—ensures durability comparable to or exceeding original Oris straps.

With quality leather (alligator or vegetable-tanned calfskin) and conscious wear, an artisanal strap typically lasts 5-8 years with regular use. Lifespan decreases if frequently submerged in saltwater without post-care; in that case, vulcanised rubber is recommended, or alternating leather straps with synthetic options during summer months.
