Strap for Aquis Tubbataha Limited Edition / Rubber

The lug width of the Oris Aquis 01 749 7663 7185-Set RS is precisely 22mm. This measurement is taken from the inner distance between the case lugs. It is a standard dimension for technical timepieces in this category and ensures balanced visual proportioning of the watch.

The optimal choice depends on usage context: an alligator strap in black or deep brown maintains technical identity with formal elegance; a rubber strap ensures practicality and water resistance; a NATO in military tones offers authentic sports orientation. Selection reflects your intended context and philosophical approach to the instrument.

Through the spring bars—the lateral metal pins that suspend the lugs to the case. Using a dedicated spring bar tool, extract the pin, remove the original strap, and insert the replacement, ensuring correct repositioning of the pin within the suspension holes. For precision work, Casati Milano's atelier is available.
