Strap for Artelier Date Diamonds 31 Stainless Steel / Black

The lug width is 14mm. This standard measurement allows you to fit any universally compatible strap with this width. To verify compatibility, ensure the strap is explicitly listed for 14mm lugs, or measure the internal distance between the watch lugs using a digital calliper.

The bi-colour Oris Artelier pairs ideally with alligator straps in brown or black for formal wear, or vegetable-tanned calf leather for elegance with natural patina development. A contemporary alternative is grey or beige NATO cloth for sport-chic contexts. Fine-textured rubber offers practical everyday wear without aesthetic compromise. All straps must be specified for 14mm lugs.

To change the strap, you must remove the spring bars from the lugs. Use a dedicated spring bar tool: insert the tip into the side slot of the lug, apply pressure to compress the internal spring, and gently extract the bar. Repeat for both lugs. Insert the new spring bars into the aftermarket strap, position the strap on the lugs, and reinsert the spring bars, compressing them until they click into position.

Yes, it is fully compatible with any aftermarket strap certified for 14mm lugs. Compatibility is universal: the 14mm measurement is an industry-standard specification. Milano Straps offers a curated selection of 14mm straps in leather, alligator, vegetable-tanned calf, NATO, and rubber, all tested for this size and available for immediate dispatch.

Durability depends on material and usage. A quality alligator strap with vegetable tanning lasts 3–5 years in moderate daily wear before replacement is necessary. Vegetable-tanned calf resists for 2–4 years. Ageing is natural and desirable: the patina that develops is part of the strap's character. To extend lifespan, avoid prolonged exposure to moisture, chlorine, and excessive perspiration. A well-maintained strap can easily exceed 5 years of service.
