Strap for Artelier Skeleton 31 Diamonds Stainless Steel

The lug width is 14mm. This dimension defines the attachment interface between the case and the strap for this model. Every aftermarket strap must feature spring bars calibrated precisely to this width to ensure correct installation and aesthetic alignment with the case.

For this reference, the ideal strap is alligator leather in black for formal occasions, or vegetable-tanned calf in dark brown for elevated daily wear. NATO straps offer contemporary practicality, while rubber ensures absolute water resistance and minimal maintenance. Choice depends on occasion and personal preference regarding patina development.

Removing the strap requires a spring bar tool: a flat-bladed instrument that gently compresses the internal spring of the pin. Position the blade into the groove along the lug, compress downward, and slide the old strap away from the pin. Repeat on the opposite lug. For new strap installation, align the passant with the lug and insert the pin until you perceive a click of engagement.

Absolutely. Milano Straps catalogues exclusively straps validated for 14mm lug width, the precise dimension of the Oris Artelier 01 560 7687 4019-07 5 14 60FC. Every strap is tested to guarantee seamless installation with zero structural play between passant and lug. The 14mm collection includes alligator, calf, NATO and rubber in multiple colour options.

A high-quality leather strap with vegetable tanning has a typical lifespan of 3–5 years with moderate daily wear, extending to 7–10 years if rotated with other straps. Maintenance consists of periodic cleaning with a soft damp cloth and annual application of natural leather balm. Protect from prolonged rain and direct heat sources. The patina that develops over time is not a defect, but acquired character.
