Strap for Artelier Calibre 113 Stainless Steel / Grey / Bracelet

The Oris Artelier 01 113 7738 4063-Set 8 23 79PS features a lug width of 23mm. This measurement represents the linear distance between the two holes where the spring bars attach to the case. To verify compatibility with any aftermarket strap, always measure this distance using a calliper or metal ruler positioned parallel to the horizontal lug axis.

The choice of strap depends on intended usage and personal aesthetic preference. For formal and classical applications, we recommend a strap in alligator or vegetable-tanned calf leather in cognac brown or black tones: these materials emphasise the technical elegance of the stainless steel case and develop natural patina over time. For sporting or variable environments, NATO fabric or modern synthetic rubber offer superior durability and rapid interchangeability. The brushed steel of your case accepts both warm and cool tones without visual conflict.

The procedure is straightforward and requires no specialised tools. Position the watch on a soft surface (cloth, mat) with the lugs facing upwards. Locate the two spring bars passing through the strap holes: using a small flat-head screwdriver or spring bar tool, apply gentle pressure to the bar to release the internal spring. The bar slides out and the strap detaches. Repeat on the opposite side. To install the new strap, align the holes and reinsert the bars with the spring tensioned until the click locks. Verify that the strap is symmetrical relative to the case before wearing the watch.

Yes, absolutely. The Oris Artelier 01 113 7738 4063-Set 8 23 79PS accepts any quality strap with a 23mm lug width, regardless of manufacturer. Artisanal straps in alligator, shell cordovan, vegetable-tanned calf, and those in NATO fabric or technical rubber are all compatible. The only critical variable is precise lug width measurement: always verify that the strap has exactly 23mm width to ensure secure fit to the lugs without lateral play.

The longevity of a leather strap depends on material quality, tanning method, frequency of use, and environmental conditions. An alligator or vegetable-tanned calf strap, worn regularly (4–5 days per week), maintains structural integrity for 3–5 years before requiring replacement. Constant exposure to perspiration, humidity, and temperature variation reduces this interval. A NATO fabric or synthetic rubber strap resists degradation for 7–10 years under identical conditions. To extend service life, alternate straps every two days, allow complete drying between wearing periods, and occasionally apply natural conditioner (coconut oil or dedicated balm) if leather becomes stiff.
