Strap for Oris Aquis 01 733 7766 4734

The lug width of the Oris Aquis 01 733 7766 4734 is 22mm. This measurement is taken from the centre of the left lug pin to the centre of the right lug pin, within the groove between the case middle and the lug attachments. It is recommended to verify this measurement directly with a digital calliper before purchasing an aftermarket strap to ensure complete compatibility.

The choice depends on intended usage. For daily elegance, a natural alligator or box calf strap offers aesthetic dignity and ages nobly. For sporty or aquatic use, a NATO in polyamide or FKM rubber ensures resistance to moisture and chlorine. The Military Green NATO proposed by Milano Straps represents a versatile compromise between maritime aesthetics and technical practicality.

Remove the watch from your wrist and position it with the dial facing downwards. Locate the spring bars connecting the strap to the lugs: use a spring bar removal tool to gently press one pin inward, thereby releasing the internal spring that secures it. Repeat for the opposite pin. Slide the old strap out of the lugs and insert the new one. Reinstall the pins, ensuring the spring is correctly positioned.

A 22mm strap is dimensionally compatible. However, it must have a maximum thickness of 3-4mm to fit smoothly into the case lugs. Milano Straps 22mm straps are specifically tested for compatibility with the Aquis and feature optimised construction tolerances for this size.

A quality leather strap, such as natural alligator or box calf, typically lasts 2-3 years with daily use, particularly if frequently exposed to perspiration and salt water. Salt water accelerates ageing. A quality polyamide NATO lasts approximately 4-5 years before the fibres show visible signs of wear. Lifespan depends on frequency of use, climate and regular maintenance.
