Strap for Aquis Date 43 Stainless Steel / Black / Rubber

The lug width of this Oris Aquis model is 26mm. This measurement represents the internal distance between the two case lugs and determines compatibility with all strap options. Accurate measurement using a digital caliper is essential to prevent lateral play or excessive tension.

The Aquis performs optimally with vegetable-tanned alligator or shell cordovan straps for formal occasions, owing to their natural patina development over time. For frequent aquatic use, a polyamide NATO or vulcanised rubber strap maintains authentic diving functionality. A brown or black Taurillon calf leather represents the ideal compromise between elegance and practicality.

Strap replacement involves removing the spring bars using a dedicated tool or small screwdriver. Position the watch on a stable surface, gently press the pin to release it from the lug hole, then remove the old strap. Insert the new strap, aligning the lugs with the holes, then re-insert the pins until you hear a click. We recommend having this performed by a qualified watchmaker if uncertain about the procedure.

A quality leather strap (alligator, shell cordovan, Taurillon calf) typically lasts 3–5 years with moderate daily wear. Longevity depends on sun exposure, humidity, frequency of wear, and maintenance care. Vegetable-tanned leather ages naturally, developing patina; chrome-tanned leather accelerates wear. Preventative treatment with natural waxes extends functional lifespan.
