Strap for Oris Artelier 01 112 7726 6351

The lug width (ansa width) of the Oris Artelier 01 112 7726 6351 is 23 millimetres. This measurement refers to the distance between the internal attachment points of the strap to the watch case. A lug width of 23mm is a specific dimension that requires custom-made straps, as it does not correspond to standard universal sizes such as 20mm or 22mm. It is essential to measure accurately using callipers to ensure perfect compatibility of the strap with the spring bar attachments on the case.

For the Oris Artelier 01 112 7726 6351, alligator straps with vegetable tanning, hammered calf leather, or shell cordovan are recommended for formal environments; NATO straps in merino wool or canvas for casual contexts; FKM rubber straps for sports use or humid environments. The choice depends on primary use: for conservative luxury pairings, choose alligator or dark calf; for contemporary versatility, a grey-dark canvas NATO offers visual contrast with the rose gold and steel bicolor case.

Strap replacement on an Oris Artelier is performed via the spring bar attachments located at the ends of the case. Using a dedicated tool (spring bar tool) or a very thin screwdriver, apply gentle inward pressure to release the spring of one of the two attachments. Once unlocked on one side, the attachment slides out of its housing. Repeat the operation on the other side. To insert the new strap, align the strap hole with the spring bar and press gently until it clicks securely into place. This operation should be performed carefully to avoid scratching the case.

The durability of a natural leather strap depends on the quality of the tanning and the intensity of use. A high-quality vegetable-tanned leather strap, on a wristwatch like the Artelier that does not experience extreme mechanical stress, maintains its structural functionality for 4–7 years of moderate daily use. Natural patina develops progressively, enriching the aesthetic appearance. Factors such as humidity, prolonged sun exposure, and perspiration influence ageing. Appropriate periodic maintenance (gentle cleaning, conditioning with natural creams) significantly extends the strap's service life.
