Strap for Artelier Calibre 112 Stainless Steel / Silver

The lug width of this model is 23mm. This is a non-standard width, specific to Oris's Artelier collection. We recommend verifying personally with a digital calliper, positioned on the inner wall of the lug without forcing. At Atelier Casati Milano, we provide this measurement free of charge.

The ideal strap depends on the intended use. For formal contexts, we recommend black alligator or vegetable-tanned calf leather in cocoa-brown tones. For maximum versatility, polished black alligator remains unparalleled. For sport situations, ballistic nylon NATO or vulcanised rubber offer practicality whilst maintaining sobriety. Shell cordovan is reserved for those seeking exceptional longevity and natural lustre.

The strap is changed using a spring bar removal tool. Position the tool beneath the lug, gently push the bar inward until the upper lug is freed, then extract the strap with fluid motion. Reverse the procedure to insert the new strap. If inexperienced, we recommend consulting a qualified watchmaker.

Yes, provided the strap is certified for 23mm lug width and possesses a conforming lug. We advise against forcing 22mm or 24mm straps: rotating the lug compromises aesthetics and mechanics. The 23mm straps available on milanostraps.it are selected and tested for absolute compatibility with the Artelier.

A premium leather strap (alligator, calf, shell cordovan) typically lasts 3–5 years with daily wear. Longevity depends on frequency of use, moisture exposure, maintenance practices, and tanning method. Vegetable tanning develops natural patina extending aesthetic perception, whilst vulcanised rubber reaches 5–7 years of resistance. We recommend rotating between multiple straps to extend each one's lifespan.
