Strap for Artelier Calibre 112 Stainless Steel / Silver / Bracelet

The lug width of the Oris Artelier 01 112 7726 4051-Set 8 23 79 is 23 millimetres. This measurement refers to the internal space between the spring bars that support the strap. Before purchasing an aftermarket strap, always verify this measurement by using a digital calliper or requesting assistance from your qualified watchmaker to ensure proper compatibility.

The Oris Artelier, given its conservative identity and refined construction, finds its ideal complement in a premium leather strap: Mississippi alligator, vegetable-tanned calf leather, or shell cordovan are the most coherent choices. For those seeking a more technical aesthetic, a premium NATO fabric strap guarantees versatility and practicality, whilst a vulcanised rubber solution offers superior water resistance and ease of maintenance for marine environments or sporting pursuits.

To change the strap, you must remove the spring bars—the cylindrical elements that pass through the case lugs. Use a dedicated spring bar tool, being gentle near the crystal and case back. Position the tool in the narrow space between the lug and strap, press the bar inward to disengage the internal spring, then extract the strap with care. The reverse operation enables fitting of the new strap. If you lack experience, consult a qualified watchmaker to prevent case scratching.

Yes, using quality-assured aftermarket straps compatible with 23mm lug width is entirely permissible, provided they feature appropriate materials and construction standards. Many enthusiasts prefer artisanal straps manufactured in limited series, as they enable aesthetic customisation, selection of premium leather, and superior construction relative to factory straps. Milano Straps offers a curated collection of 23mm straps specifically engineered for mechanical compatibility and stylistic coherence with the Artelier's refined character.

Leather strap longevity depends upon usage intensity, leather quality, tanning method, and environmental exposure conditions. Premium leather—alligator, shell cordovan, vegetable-tanned calf—subjected to moderate wear may endure 3 to 5 years before replacement becomes necessary. Natural patina development, when treated periodically with specialised balms and preserved from excessive moisture, amplifies aesthetic value over time. Naturally aged leathers develop compelling textures that narrate the wristwatch's history of wear, elevating the piece from mere accessory to an authentic life companion.
