Strap for Artelier Small Second Pointer Day 45 Stainless Steel / Silver

The lug width of the Oris Artelier 01 645 7596 4051-07 5 24 70FC is 24 millimetres. This measurement defines the space between the case lugs where the strap is inserted. To verify it correctly, measure the exact distance between the lugs using a digital calliper, not the width of the case itself.

The best strap depends on your intended use and aesthetic preferences. For formal wear, we recommend leather in vegetable tanning or high-quality alligator: these offer timeless elegance and improve with age. For daily versatility, a cotton NATO or vulcanised rubber strap ensures practicality and durability. Your 01 645 7596 4051-07 5 24 70FC requires a 24mm compatible width.

Strap replacement requires two tools: a spring bar tool (small lever implement) and a flat work surface. Insert the tool's tip beneath the spring bar (horizontal metal spring), press gently to compress the internal spring, and extract the lug from the case. Repeat on the other side. To install the new 24mm strap, insert a spring bar into the passants, compress the spring, and guide the lug into the case holes until you hear a click. Verify both sides are perfectly seated.

Yes, any strap with 24mm lug width is compatible with your Oris Artelier 01 645 7596 4051-07 5 24 70FC, provided the spring bars match in diameter. We recommend verifying construction quality and origin: an artisanal strap in vegetable-tanned leather or a certified NATO will offer superior longevity and aesthetic coherence compared to generic industrial products.

A high-quality leather strap in vegetable-tanned Tuscan hide typically lasts 3–5 years with regular daily use. Longevity depends on humidity exposure, perspiration, cleaning frequency, and care. An alligator strap under high tension may last 5–7 years. To extend life, avoid prolonged immersion, dry promptly after rain, and occasionally apply a leather-specific conditioner. A rubber or NATO strap, conversely, can last 10+ years without significant degradation.
