Strap for Oris Artelier 01 581 7592 6351

The Oris Artelier 01 581 7592 6351 features a lug width of 21mm. This dimension is measured between the inner edges of the lugs and is functional to the proportions of the 40mm case. Undersized straps (20mm) may be slightly loose, whilst oversized straps (22mm) would force the spring bar system: it is essential to respect exactly 21mm to ensure structural rigidity and comfort during strap replacement.

For the Artelier, authentic Mississippi alligator (with fine grain and regular texture) offers the most refined aesthetic profile, particularly in deep cognac tones which create contrast with the steel-rose gold bicolour. Alternatively, vegetable-tanned calf leather guarantees versatility, developing a unique patina over time. For more casual wear, technical rubber or NATO straps maintain visual balance through constructive minimalism.

The Oris Artelier is equipped with standard spring bar lugs. To change the strap, obtain a spring bar tool, insert the tip into the small hole present on one of the lugs and gently push upwards to release the spring. The spring will click free—catch it to prevent it falling. Repeat on the other side. Insert the new strap by aligning the holes, then reposition the springs by pushing downward until a click confirms. A deployante clasp facilitates the process if the strap is leather.

Yes, any strap with a 21mm lug width is compatible. Quality aftermarket straps (leather, alligator, rubber, NATO) guarantee the same level of compatibility as the original Oris strap, often at a lower price point. The important thing is to verify that the width is exactly 21mm and that the holes in the lugs correspond to the standard 1.5mm spring bar diameter. At Milano Straps you will find a curated selection of 21mm straps certified for compatibility.

A quality leather strap (vegetable-tanned calf or alligator) has an average lifespan of 3–5 years with daily wear, depending on humidity exposure, frequency of use and maintenance. Protecting the leather from excessive perspiration and rain, and slightly lubricating the spring with neutral silicone every 6 months, significantly extends useful life. Rubber or NATO straps last 5–7 years even with more intensive use, offering greater wear resistance.
