Strap for Aquis Date 43.5 Stainless Steel / Black / Bracelet

The Oris Aquis 01 733 7787 4154-07 8 22 04PEB features a 22mm lug width, which is the standard specification for mid-sized professional diving watches. This width allows for straps with sufficient body to guarantee fluid movement without excessive rigidity—a crucial characteristic in aquatic environments where the strap must constantly adapt to wrist pressure.

For this model, we recommend a vegetable-tanned leather strap in warm tones such as moka brown or navy blue: these express the authentic diver character whilst developing patina over time. Alternatively, for those engaged in intense water sports, rubber vulcanised straps or woven NATO options offer superior grip and chlorine resistance whilst maintaining maximum practicality.

Position the watch on a soft pad. Use a spring bar tool to gently press the pin towards the centre of the case, creating sufficient clearance to extract the worn strap. Align the new strap's pin with the lug attachments and press until you feel a click. Avoid dropping the small pins: use a shallow bowl as containment during the operation.

Yes, any strap with a 22mm lug width is compatible with this model. Always verify the exact width by positioning a digital calliper from the inner shoulders of the horizontal attachments. Milano Straps 22mm straps are tested for this specific measurement and guarantee precise tolerance.

A quality vegetable-tanned leather strap, if properly maintained, lasts between 18 and 36 months with daily use. Longevity depends on sun exposure, humidity levels and frequency of contact with saltwater. Always dry the strap after sea use, occasionally apply leather balm and avoid direct heat. A rubber strap offers greater durability (48–60 months) but requires minimal maintenance.
