Strap for Aquis Great Barrier Reef Limited Edition II / Rubber

The Oris Aquis 01 735 7673 4185-Set RS has a lug width of 20mm. The lug width is the distance between the two spring bar attachment points on the case: measure from centre pin to centre pin using a ruler or calliper to verify precisely. A 20mm strap anchors perfectly without lateral gaps or excess.

The choice depends on your intended use: an alligator or shell cordovan strap confers formal versatility without compromising technical rigour; vegetable-tanned calf develops natural patina over time and acquires character; vulcanised rubber guarantees indefinite durability in humid environments; military-grade canvas NATO radicalises sports aesthetics. For the Aquis, we recommend starting from your predominant use case.

The Aquis uses spring bar attachments. Procure a dedicated tool or small flathead screwdriver. Insert the tip beneath the pin, pushing gently downward until the spring compresses enough to extract the pin from the hole. Repeat on the opposite side. When mounting the new strap, align the pins to the holes and press gently until the click seat. Never use excessive force to avoid damaging the holes.

Yes, any strap with 20mm lug width is compatible with this reference. Verify it has been measured correctly: position a ruler between the attachment pins on your case to confirm the measurement. Quality artisanal straps guarantee superior durability and comfort compared to OEM straps, whilst maintaining constructive integrity and aesthetic proportions.

Durability depends on material and tanning. Vegetable-tanned calf, if frequently exposed to moisture, has an average life of 3–5 years with regular use; if used in dry contexts, it can last beyond 7 years. Shell cordovan, being denser and more oily, is more resilient: 5–8 years. Vulcanised rubber does not deteriorate: it remains functional indefinitely. Avoid prolonged immersions if the strap is not specifically water-repellent.
