Strap for Aquis Small Seconds Date 46 Stainless Steel / Black / Bracelet

The Oris Aquis 01 743 7673 4159-07 8 26 01PEB features a 22mm lug width. This measurement is determined by the 46mm case diameter and the geometry of the lugs. Correct measurement is taken between the spring bars that traverse the lugs entirely, not between the external edges of the case.

The choice depends on usage. For formal occasions, we recommend alligator with fine grain in dark brown or black; for daily wear, vegetable-tanned calf leather that develops patina over time; for tactical deployment, dense nylon NATO in grey or navy blue. FKM rubber is ideal for wet environments due to superior grip.

Insert a spring bar tool into the gap between the lug and strap, applying gentle pressure to retract the pin. Once one side is freed, the other side comes off easily. To install the new strap, align the pins with the slots and push until you feel a distinct click.

Yes, entirely. The 22mm lug width is a recognised standard; any strap correctly dimensioned for this size will be compatible. Ensure the strap is certified 22mm, not approximated to 20mm or 24mm, to avoid anomalous tension.

A quality vegetable-tanned calf strap lasts between 3 and 5 years with ordinary maintenance (regular cleaning, protection from prolonged moisture). Alligator, being more durable, extends the lifespan to 5-7 years. Replacement is indicated by visual wear: cracks, flaking, or loss of shape signal the moment to change.
