Strap for Aquis Date 41.5 Stainless Steel / Green / Rubber

The lug width of the Oris Aquis 01 733 7766 4157-07 4 22 64FC is 22 millimetres. This measurement refers to the distance between the two lugs (the pins holding the strap on the case). When purchasing an aftermarket strap, ensure it is compatible with this specific lug width to avoid installation issues.

For the Oris Aquis 01 733 7766 4157-07 4 22 64FC, vegetable-tanned Tuscan leather straps represent the most balanced aesthetic choice, as they soften the technical geometry of the ceramic and steel case. However, NATO textile straps and vulcanised FKM rubber also offer excellent technical performance, especially if frequent diving or water activities are anticipated. The choice depends on primary use: daily elegance for leather, versatility for NATO and rubber.

Changing the strap on the Oris Aquis 01 733 7766 4157-07 4 22 64FC requires a spring bar tool (a small leverage device designed to extract the elastic pins). Position the tool in the lower notch of the pin, gently lever until the internal spring retracts, then extract the pin from the case. Repeat on the opposite side, then insert the pins into the new strap, align the holes, and compress using the same tool until you hear or feel a click. Perform this operation on a clean surface to prevent pin loss.

Yes, the Oris Aquis 01 733 7766 4157-07 4 22 64FC is compatible with any quality strap in 22mm size. Specialist suppliers such as Milano Straps offer straps in vegetable-tanned Tuscan leather, shell cordovan, alligator, textile NATO, and FKM rubber, all tested for dimensional compatibility and durability. It is important to verify that the internal holes (passants) of the strap are calibrated to accommodate the pins without mechanical stress.

The lifespan of a leather strap on the Oris Aquis 01 733 7766 4157-07 4 22 64FC depends on the material, treatment, and frequency of use. Vegetable-tanned Tuscan leather, worn daily, typically lasts 3–4 years before showing significant wear; shell cordovan, being denser, can reach 5–6 years. However, the strap does not 'end': vegetable leather develops a fascinating patina over time, and repair by a specialist craftsperson (such as Casati Milano by appointment) can significantly extend its useful life. Prolonged exposure to moisture, chlorine, and saltwater reduces durability; in such cases, choose rubber or NATO for the summer months.
