Strap for Oris Artelier 01 561 7722 4031

The lug width is 14mm. This dimension represents the internal distance between the two lugs of the case and determines which strap to fit on your watch. It is independent of strap thickness: a 14mm lug width accommodates straps from 1.2mm to 3.5mm thick, provided the width remains constant.

The ideal strap depends on your use: for formal contexts, dark brown or deep black alligator is the most sophisticated choice. For daily wear with aesthetic evolution over time, aniline-treated calf leather offers natural patina. For versatility without concerns, brushed rubber true to Oris design. A cotton NATO strap is perfect if you desire controlled informality.

The strap is replaced by extracting the Spring Bars that anchor it to the lugs. With the appropriate tool or a fine needle-like instrument, press toward the centre to release the bar on one side, then remove the strap. Mount the new strap by inserting the bar into the ring until you feel a secure click. Atelier Casati Milano offers this service by appointment.

An aftermarket 14mm strap in aniline calf or alligator is fully compatible. Milano Straps offers a range of 14mm lug width straps crafted artisanally: construction quality meets watchmaking standards, with the possibility of customisation on colours, finishes and absolute length.

Longevity depends on use, climate and maintenance. Quality calf leather, worn daily in temperate environments without prolonged water or humidity contact, lasts 3-5 years before replacement is needed. Patina and natural ageing are desirable, not a defect. Rubber offers greater durability (5-8 years), whilst alligator, if protected, can last 10+ years.
