Strap for Artelier Hand Winding Small Second 40 Rose Gold / Silver

The lug width of the Oris Artelier ref. 01 396 7580 6051-Set is 21 millimetres. This measurement, taken between the spring bar attachment points on both sides of the case, is essential for aftermarket strap compatibility. A 21mm lug width requires careful strap selection to maintain the visual balance of the 40mm case.

For the Oris Artelier ref. 01 396 7580 6051-Set in rose gold, we recommend straps in dark brown alligator with vegetable tanning, cognac calf leather with rose gold deployante, or NATO in cotton grey. The choice depends on your usage context: alligator for formal elegance, calf for daily versatility, NATO for a more straightforward style. Proportional balance with the 21mm lug width is paramount.

The Oris Artelier 01 396 7580 6051-Set is equipped with standard spring bars. To change the strap: place the watch on a soft surface, use a small flat tool (spring bar tool) to compress the spring bar, gently extract the spring bar from the lug hole, remove the old strap. Insert the new spring bar into the new strap, align and press until it clicks into place. Always verify that the spring bar is fully engaged on both sides.

Any strap designed for 21mm lug width is compatible with the Oris Artelier 01 396 7580 6051-Set, provided the spring bar is of standard diameter (1.5mm thickness is the standard). Available materials include: alligator leather, calf, shell cordovan, ostrich leather, cotton NATO, Cordura fabric strap, FKM rubber. Always verify exact dimensions with your supplier to avoid incompatibilities.

The lifespan of a leather strap depends on the material and usage patterns. A quality calf leather strap worn daily typically lasts 2–3 years. Alligator leather with vegetable tanning can reach 4–5 years thanks to its more robust fibre structure. Shell cordovan, due to its density, can exceed 5 years. Natural leather wear—flexing, patina development, minor creasing—is part of its charm; however, if the keeper detaches or the leather tears, the strap should be replaced. Storing the watch in a dry location away from direct sunlight will extend strap life.
