Strap for Artelier Date 31 Stainless Steel / Silver / Bracelet

The lug width of this model is 14mm. This is a specific measurement for compact watches with a 31mm case. Measurement should be taken on the inner width of the lugs using a digital calliper to ensure precision and proper strap fit.

For this Artelier, the choice depends on purpose: an alligator strap with vegetable tanning in medium brown offers classical elegance; a black calf leather guarantees absolute formality; a grey or blue NATO maintains the model's versatile character. For aquatic environments or hot climates, an FKM rubber strap is ideal.

The strap is changed using a spring bar tool. Position it beneath the bar spring, gently push to release tension, and extract the bar from the lug. Insert the new strap and reinsert the bar until it clicks. Verify that it is firmly secured to prevent loss.

Yes, any strap with a 14mm lug width is compatible with the 01 561 7548 4051-07 8 16 71. Compatibility depends solely on lug width, not brand. Always verify the measurement before purchase to avoid misalignment at the lugs.

Durability varies based on leather quality and usage: vegetable-tanned leather can last 3-5 years with regular care; traditionally dyed calf has similar longevity; FKM rubber can exceed 5-7 years. Exposure to sunlight, moisture, and perspiration accelerates natural leather ageing.
