Strap for Artelier Skeleton 31 Diamonds Stainless Steel - Diamond

The lug width (ansa width) of the Oris Artelier 01 560 7604 4919-07 5 16 67FC is precisely 16 mm. This measurement is taken between the two internal edges of the spring bar seating recess within the case. It is essential to verify this dimension with a digital calliper before ordering any aftermarket strap, as attachments of different widths will not seat correctly in the case aperture.

To maintain the aesthetic and functional coherence of this 31 mm feminine timepiece, we recommend an alligator strap with vegetable tanning, which amplifies the dialogue between the case's polished finish and a texture that evolves over time. Alternatively, a smooth calf leather strap in tobacco colour offers daily practicality without sacrificing constructive elegance. For sporting contexts, a cotton NATO strap guarantees aesthetic and functional versatility.

Strap replacement on this model occurs via the spring bars located inside the case at the ends of the lug. Using an appropriate tool (spring bar tool), you must depress both spring bars simultaneously whilst extracting the strap from its seat. Insert the new strap (also 16 mm) by aligning its terminations with the designated slots and allow the spring bars to reposition themselves. This procedure requires no case opening and can be performed with the watch worn on the wrist.

All straps with a 16 mm lug width are structurally compatible with this model. Milano Straps' artisanal proposals include vegetable-tanned leather (alligator, calf, shell cordovan), NATO straps in cotton and burette canvas, and options in vulcanised rubber with folding deployant clasp. Technical compatibility is assured; selection depends upon desired aesthetic narrative and intended use context.

A vegetable-tanned leather strap maintains constructive functionality between 4 and 7 years of daily wear, variable according to climate, sun exposure, and maintenance frequency. Vegetable tanning permits conscious colour evolution, generating natural patina over time. Periodic maintenance with leather-specific conditioning products extends functional longevity. Visible wear marks represent constructive memory, not structural defect. Replacement becomes necessary only when the fibre begins to lose elasticity.
