Strap for Artelier Skeleton 31 Diamonds Stainless Steel - Diamond / Bracelet

The lug width is precisely 18mm. This measurement is specific to this Artelier model and reflects the proportions of the 31mm case. It is essential to respect this width when purchasing an aftermarket strap to ensure correct insertion into the case lugs and to avoid play or excessive tension.

We recommend a strap in alligator leather or vegetable-tanned calf leather for this timepiece, both of which enhance the understated elegance of the case. Natural alligator offers a refined texture for formal occasions; calf leather guarantees a more authentic aged patina over time. NATO straps in canvas represent a practical alternative for daily wear, whilst rubber is ideal for a more sporty interpretation of the model.

Strap changing is achieved by removing the spring bars that connect the lugs to the case horns. Use a dedicated tool to depress the pin and extract it gently. Once the lugs are free, insert the new strap by aligning the holes with the spring bars and press until fully inserted. The operation requires precision to avoid scratching the case.

Yes, Milano Straps offers an extensive selection of 18mm straps compatible with the Oris Artelier. The collection includes options in alligator, calf leather with various tanning methods, canvas NATO straps, and rubber cinches with deployante. All straps are customisable and ready to ship, guaranteeing structural compatibility with the model's specific attachment.

A quality leather strap (alligator or vegetable-tanned calf) typically lasts 3-5 years with regular use and proper maintenance. Durability depends on intensity of use, moisture exposure, and periodic treatment. A calf strap tends to develop a fascinating patina over time; alligator maintains greater structural rigidity. Rubber offers superior durability in aggressive environments, but with less aesthetic evolution.
