Strap for Aquis Staghorn Restoration Limited Edition / Rubber

The Oris Aquis 01 735 7734 4185-Set RS is fitted with a 20mm lug width. This measurement represents the exact distance between the case lugs where the strap is secured. Always verify the lug width before purchasing an aftermarket strap to ensure perfect fit and correct angle alignment around the wrist.

For this diver tool watch, alligator straps are ideal for formal elegance, vegetable-tanned leather for daily use, NATO straps for sports versatility, and FKM rubber for aquatic environments. The choice depends on intended use: alligator if the watch will be worn formally, NATO if the watch will be immersed frequently.

The strap is changed by removing the lateral case pins using a dedicated tool (spring bar tool). Position the watch on an anti-scratch support, gently push the pin towards the lug with the tool until it removes completely, then repeat on the other side. Insert the new strap by aligning the holes with the lugs and reinsert the pins. Simple operation but requires caution to avoid damaging the case.

Yes, any strap with 20mm lug width is compatible. We recommend straps from specialist ateliers, which guarantee material quality, precise finishing and long durability. An artisanal alligator or vegetable-tanned leather strap completely transforms the character of the diver, making the Aquis a more sophisticated and personal instrument compared to the original bracelet.

A quality leather strap, with vegetable tanning, has a lifespan of 3-5 years with daily use. Longevity depends on sun exposure, humidity and frequency of wear. An excellent crafted calf leather, if properly maintained (avoid prolonged wetting, apply balm every 6-12 months), can last up to 8 years. FKM rubber typically lasts 5-7 years before becoming rigid. Quality alligator can exceed a decade.
