Strap for Oris Artelier 01 112 7726 4055

The lug width of the 01 112 7726 4055 is 23mm. This non-standard measurement reflects Oris's deliberate design choice to proportion the strap relative to the 43mm case. To verify compatibility, measure the distance between the lower pins of the lug seats: it must be exactly 23mm.

For this dress watch, we recommend straps in alligator or vegetable-tanned calf leather (cognac or dark brown), which respect the model's formal vocation and develop a natural patina over time. For all-terrain versatility, a raw canvas NATO or FKM rubber strap ensures mechanical reliability. Avoid inexpensive synthetics: the 01 112 7726 4055 deserves materials that age with dignity.

The strap is changed via spring bars located at the ends of the lugs. Using a spring bar tool (or a plastic toothpick), gently press the lateral spring to disengage it, extract the spring from its seat, insert the new strap by aligning the pins with the openings, and reposition the spring until you hear a locking click. The procedure is reversible and requires no watchmaking expertise.

Yes, numerous aftermarket straps are available with 23mm end links. Milano Straps offers several options: leather (alligator, calf, shell cordovan), canvas NATO, and FKM rubber. All straps are made to order for 23mm lug width and are ready for shipment. Always verify the correct measurement before ordering.

A premium leather strap (alligator, vegetable-tanned calf, shell cordovan) typically lasts 3-5 years with regular daily use, provided it undergoes periodic maintenance (gentle cleaning, annual conditioning). Durability depends on intensity of use, ambient humidity, and tanning quality. A NATO or FKM rubber strap offers superior durability (5-7 years) but less aesthetic elegance. Natural wear is part of leather's fascinating aging: scuffs and patina are authentic signs of prolonged relationship with the watch.
