Strap for Aquis Date 43.5 Relief Stainless Steel / Grey / Bracelet

The lug width of the Oris Aquis 01 733 7730 4153-07 8 24 05PEB is 20mm. This measurement represents the internal distance between the terminal attachments of the case. Always verify with a caliper that the new strap measures between 19.8 and 20.2mm before fitting, to ensure precise and secure installation.

The choice depends on intended use. For diving and aquatic environments, fluorocarbon rubber offers resistance and durability. For daily elegant wear, vegetable-tanned calf leather develops natural patina over time. Alligator remains ideal for those desiring maximum longevity and refined aesthetics. A canvas NATO ensures robustness and military versatility.

Remove the original strap by gently prying the lug with an appropriate tool (sprung bar remover or click pen). Fully extract the pin from its seat. Insert the new strap by aligning one end of the lug first, then gently press the other end until you hear a click. The operation requires no force: if you encounter resistance, verify alignment.

Yes, provided the lug width is precisely 20mm (tolerance 19.8-20.2mm) and the strap is constructed for a removable lug pin system, as is the Aquis. Quality artisanal straps, particularly those made from vegetable-tanned leather or fluorocarbon rubber, do not diminish the watch's value and instead personalise its character.

A quality leather strap (calf, alligator, shell cordovan) typically lasts 3–5 years under moderate use and proper maintenance. The Aquis, being a diver with 300-metre water resistance, exposes the strap to constant humidity if used in swimming pools or sea: in such cases, plan for annual replacement and choose water-specific materials (fluorocarbon rubber).
