Strap for Artelier Calibre 113 Stainless Steel / Silver

This model features a lug width of precisely 23 millimetres, an unconventional measurement requiring specific straps. This dimension is characteristic of Oris design philosophy, conceived to maintain balanced proportions on the 43mm case. Accurate measurement is performed with a digital calliper positioned on the inner lug shoulders, with a tolerance of ±0.5mm.

The ideal strap depends on intended use: vegetable-tanned alligator represents the aesthetic pinnacle for formal contexts, with patina evolving naturally over time. Vegetable-tanned calf offers immediate suppleness and durability of 7-8 years. Grey-green NATO is excellent for sporting versatility, whilst vulcanised rubber ensures functionality in humid environments whilst maintaining aesthetic dignity.

Strap replacement requires a spring bar tool and correct movement orientation. Insert the lever gently into the lug hole, push towards the centre to release the internal spring and extract the attachment. Verify that springs are intact and properly positioned. Install the new strap by reversing the procedure, ensuring both 23mm attachments are perfectly seated.

Any strap with a 23mm lug width is compatible with the 01 113 7738 4031-Set 1 23 83FC. Milano Straps offers a specialised collection in this measurement: alligator, vegetable-tanned calf, shell cordovan, NATO in various fabrics and vulcanised rubber. Compatibility is guaranteed through international standardisation of spring bar attachments.

A vegetable-tanned calf strap on an Oris Artelier achieves 7-8 years durability with average daily wear. Alligator, thanks to superior fibre structure, can reach 10-12 years. Shell cordovan offers even greater longevity, up to 15 years. Durability depends upon humidity, frequency of use and maintenance: a strap constantly exposed to water deteriorates more rapidly.
