Strap for Oris Artelier 01 561 7687 4031

The Oris Artelier 01 561 7687 4031 features a lug width of 14mm. This is a rare and proportionally sized measurement for the compact 31mm case diameter. To verify compatibility, measure the distance between the lateral spring bar posts beneath the case, ensuring your strap has the same width at insertion point.

We recommend natural leather primarily: alligator for formal elegance, vegetable-tanned calf for daily versatility. Both materials age aesthetically, developing patina that enriches the timepiece. A dense cotton NATO is a valid option for casual occasions, whilst maintaining correct proportions on the 31mm case.

The procedure is straightforward: you'll need a small spring bar removal tool, proportioned to 14mm pins. Press the pin laterally from one side, slide out the old strap, insert the new one onto both springs, then release the pin. Work with care to avoid damaging the delicate spring mechanisms.

Yes, provided it features a 14mm lug width and has been crafted by specialised artisans. Generic 14mm straps do not always guarantee finishes and durability appropriate for a timepiece of this calibre. Consulting dedicated strap makers ensures maximum respect for proportions and constructive compatibility.

A quality leather strap, properly maintained, lasts 4–7 years in daily use. Longevity depends on factors such as frequency of wear, humidity exposure, and treatment: occasional conditioning with specific creams extends useful life. Vegetable-tanned leather straps age gracefully, developing character; alligator natural straps are more robust and wear-resistant.
