Strap for Artelier Hand Winding Small Second 40 Stainless Steel / Black

The lug width of the Oris Artelier 01 396 7580 4054-07 5 21 06 is 21mm, measured centre-to-centre between the spring bar holes. This specific measurement allows compatibility with a wide range of quality aftermarket straps.

For the Oris Artelier 01 396 7580 4054-07 5 21 06, we recommend French or American alligator straps for maximum formal elegance, vegetable-tanned leather for durability and noble patina development, or heavy-duty canvas NATO straps for sporting versatility. Your choice depends on primary usage and wearing context.

Remove the strap by unscrewing the spring bars using a dedicated pin spring bar remover tool. Place the watch on a soft mat, locate the bars at 12 and 6 o'clock, gently release the internal spring, and slide the old strap away. Insert the new strap by aligning the holes with the bars, then reinsert the bars until they click into place.

Yes, since the 01 396 7580 4054-07 5 21 06 features 21mm lugs, any strap compatible with this width is suitable. Ensure the strap thickness matches the spring bar diameter (typically 1.8–2.0mm) and that the total length accommodates your wrist comfortably.

A premium alligator strap on a daily-worn watch typically lasts 3–5 years before replacement becomes necessary. Vegetable-tanned leather offers similar longevity but shows visible aging more prominently. Durability depends on: personal perspiration, sun exposure, wearing frequency, and regular maintenance with a soft damp cloth.
