Strap for Aquis Date 36 Stainless Steel / White / Rubber

The Oris Aquis 36mm (reference 01 733 7652 4356-07 4 18 31) features an 18mm lug width, the standard compatibility measurement for all aftermarket straps. The 18mm width is measured by positioning a digital calliper between the two lateral attachment pins on the caseback, ensuring precision when purchasing a replacement strap.

The optimal choice depends on intended use: for formal contexts, we recommend alligator leather or shell cordovan with vegetable tanning, which develops patina over time. For diving or daily wear, FKM rubber ensures waterproofness and comfort. A NATO textile strap offers aesthetic versatility whilst maintaining the original sporty character. Milano Straps provides fully customisable bespoke options.

The Aquis 36mm employs a standard pressure-fit system with spring bars. Use a spring bar tool to gently lift the lateral pins, inserting the tip into the slot underneath. Once the pin is raised, extract the lug from its seat on the caseback. Repeat symmetrically on the opposite side. Installation of the new strap follows the reverse process, ensuring the pin seats with decisive pressure.

Yes, the 18mm lug width is a widely adopted standard across contemporary Oris collections. Milano Straps offers a comprehensive range of 18mm-compatible straps in leather (alligator, calf, shell cordovan), NATO textile, and FKM rubber. All compatible straps can be customised for colour, texture, and buckle finish, from classic steel deployante to modern titanium clasps.

Lifespan depends on material and usage patterns: vegetable-tanned leather develops visible patina within 6–12 months, reaching maximum character within 2–3 years with minimal wear. Shell cordovan resists degradation for 3–5 years under daily conditions, developing deep lustre. Alligator leather, when unexposed to excessive moisture, maintains structural integrity beyond 5 years. FKM rubber does not age chromatically and preserves elastic properties for 7–10 years. Milano Straps offers regeneration and pin-renewal services.
