Strap for Aquis Great Barrier Reef Limited Edition III

The Oris Aquis 01 743 7734 4185-Set features a lug width of 24mm. This dimension is specific to this model and essential for purchasing compatible straps. Measurement should be taken at the lug seat itself, perpendicular to the internal lug bar, using a digital calliper to ensure accuracy.

Tuscan leather with vegetable tanning represents the most conscientious historical choice for this diver: it absorbs and releases moisture naturally, developing a patina that narrates its usage history. Colours such as cognac brown create contrast with the ceramic case, whilst deep black emphasises the tool watch vocation. For frequent diving practitioners, vegetable-tanned alligator leather offers superior moisture resistance.

The strap is changed by removing the lugs from the case. You will locate two small pins or spring bars situated at the case extremities: gently push a lug inward to release it. Repeat the operation on the opposite lug. Once freed, extract the old strap and insert the new one, ensuring the lugs position themselves correctly within their seats. Use a non-invasive tool to avoid scratching the ceramic.

Yes, aftermarket straps at 24mm are entirely compatible with the 01 743 7734 4185-Set, provided they respect this exact lug width specification. Milano Straps offers artisanal straps in Tuscan leather, NATO and FKM rubber, all calibrated to guarantee absence of lateral play and smooth transition between case and wrist. Artisanal construction quality often exceeds OEM standards.

A vegetable-tanned Tuscan leather strap, if subjected to regular maintenance, lasts approximately 5-7 years with daily wear. Longevity depends on exposure to humidity, direct sunlight and cleaning frequency. Allow the leather to dry completely between uses, especially after saltwater contact or in humid climates. Application of specific oils extends material lifespan and deepens the natural patina.
