Strap for Artelier Skeleton 31 Diamonds Stainless Steel

The lug width of the Oris Artelier 01 560 7604 4019-07 5 16 66FC is 18mm. This measurement is crucial for aftermarket strap compatibility and represents the distance between the inner edges of the lugs that protrude from the sides of the case.

For a dress watch of this nature, we recommend an alligator strap with polished finishing or vegetable-tanned calf leather. These choices amplify the Artelier's classical identity. Alternatively, a high-density NATO textile strap offers versatility while maintaining elegance, whilst rubber is ideal for aquatic use.

To change the strap, gently remove the pins or passants that connect the original strap to the case lugs. Use a spring bar tool, inserting it horizontally beneath the pin, then extract the pin from the first lug. Repeat on the opposite side. Insert the new strap, aligning its holes with the lugs, then reintroduce the pin from one side, ensuring correct positioning before securing it on the opposite side.

Yes, the Oris Artelier 01 560 7604 4019-07 5 16 66FC is compatible with any strap featuring an integrated lug width or passant attachment at 18mm. Milano Straps offers an extensive selection of artisanal straps in this size, crafted from alligator, calf, shell cordovan, NATO and rubber, all customisable and ready for dispatch.

The lifespan of a leather strap depends on material quality, frequency of use and environmental conditions. An artisanal alligator or premium calf strap with vegetable tanning can last 3-5 years under moderate, regular-use conditions with proper maintenance. Leather develops a natural patina that enriches the aesthetic over time. Avoid prolonged exposure to moisture and saltwater to maximise longevity.
