Strap for Aquis Date 43 Stainless Steel / Black / Bracelet

The lug width is exactly 26mm, measured internally between the spring bar attachments of the case. This specification is certified in the official Oris technical documentation and is compatible with our handcrafted straps in all finishes: alligator, calf leather, NATO and FKM rubber.

It depends on intended use. For formal elegance we recommend satin-finished alligator in black or vegetable-tanned cognac leather. For daily practicality, a NATO fabric in neutral tones excels. For swimming or aquatic sports, FKM rubber ensures chemical durability and quick cleaning. All our straps feature 1.2-1.5mm thickness, compatible with this model's lugs.

Use a spring bar tool to gently remove the spring bar attachments from the lugs. The procedure takes 2-3 minutes per side. Insert the new strap by aligning one end of the spring bar first, then gently push the opposite end with the tool until it clicks. Do not force: clearance should not exceed 0.5mm.

Yes, provided the width is certified at 26mm and thickness between 1.2-1.5mm. We always recommend verifying your watch's specification with its certificate of authenticity. Our MilanoStraps straps are individually tested for mechanical compatibility. If unsure, contact us for personalised guidance.

A quality vegetable-tanned leather strap, with proper care, lasts 5-7 years of daily wear. Noble alligator can reach 10-15 years. Durability depends on sun exposure, humidity and perspiration. We recommend rotating straps seasonally and using rubber during summer. Protective treatment with specialist creams significantly extends material life.
