Strap for Aquis Titan Small Second - Date Titanium / Grey / Bracelet

The lug width is 26mm. This measurement represents the distance between the two case attachments where the strap is fixed. It is essential to measure it correctly with a calliper positioned perpendicular to the case plane to ensure complete compatibility with replacement straps.

For this diving model, we recommend three options: (1) Vegetable-tanned leather, which develops natural patina over time; (2) Cotton NATO, particularly suitable for underwater use due to moisture resistance; (3) Fluoroelastomer rubber, the technical choice for professional diving. The choice depends on primary usage: everyday elegance with leather, tactical versatility with NATO, absolute robustness with rubber.

Insert a flat tool (not sharp) into the small side opening of one lug attachment. Apply gentle, consistent pressure outward to release the spring mechanism. Once freed, completely extract the lug from the case. Insert the new lug into the opposite slot, ensuring the retention tab is correctly oriented, and repeat the procedure for the second attachment. Avoid sharp blows that could deform the edges.

Yes, absolutely. The 26mm lug width is a standard used by numerous artisan strap manufacturers. Always verify that the strap width corresponds exactly to 26mm and that the thickness is compatible with the case slot (typically 3.5-4mm). Artisan straps in vegetable-tanned leather or rubber offer superior construction quality and customisation compared to standard OEM replacements.

A quality leather strap with vegetable tanning and proper finishing typically lasts 4-7 years with moderate daily use. Longevity depends on critical factors: direct sunlight exposure, perspiration, constant humidity, and frequency of water exposure. The Oris Aquis, being designed for humid environments, suggests frequent rotation with rubber straps during diving, preserving leather for dry daily use. Conditioning the leather every 12-18 months with specific oils significantly extends longevity.
