Strap for Aquis Small Seconds Date 45.5 Stainless Steel / Black / Bracelet

The lug width of the Oris Aquis 01 743 7733 4159-07 8 24 05PEB is precisely 24mm. This measurement represents the external distance between the two horizontal pins that connect the case to the side lugs. This intermediate dimension is intentionally engineered to maintain visual balance on medium-sized wrists, ensuring dominant presence without excessive lateral protrusion.

Alligator leather of medium thickness (1.4-1.6mm) with fine grain represents the most balanced option for this model. It maintains aesthetic refinement whilst preserving the structural robustness typical of a professional sports instrument. For underwater use, NATO straps in high-density canvas or FKM rubber are the ideal solution. Casati Milano atelier offers bespoke customisations upon appointment.

Remove the watch from your wrist and place it on a soft surface. Using a caseback opener or pin removal tool, gently push the horizontal lug pin inward, sliding out the old strap. Insert the new 24mm strap, aligning it with the lugs, then reinsert the pin until it locks. Verify the strap is securely fastened before wearing.

Yes, any artisanal strap with a 24mm lug width is compatible with this model. Milano Straps offers a curated collection of straps in alligator, shell cordovan, calf leather and rubber, all engineered to maintain original aesthetic proportions. Compatibility is guaranteed by the standardised attachment system using horizontal pins.

A quality leather strap (alligator, shell cordovan or calf), when properly maintained, has a lifespan of 4-6 years in daily use. Alligator and vegetable-tanned shell cordovan develop patina over time, enhancing aesthetic value. Durability depends on tanning type, moisture exposure and replacement frequency. Milano Straps provides customisation services to ensure durable and resistant straps.
