Strap for Artelier Skeleton 40 Stainless Steel / Bracelet

The lug width of the Oris Artelier 01 734 7591 4051-07 8 21 73 is 21 millimetres. This measurement is taken between the two metal pins that support the strap. It is essential to verify this measurement before purchasing an aftermarket strap to ensure perfect compatibility and correct aesthetic alignment of the case.

For the Artelier 01 734 7591 4051-07 8 21 73, we recommend alligator or vegetable-tanned calf leather straps for formal occasions, maintaining the dressy nature of the model. NATO straps in polyamide offer versatility and transition toward casual contexts, whilst fluoroelastomeric rubber is ideal for daily wear and climate resistance. The choice depends on primary usage context and personal aesthetic preferences.

Strap replacement requires no specialised skills. Obtain a spring bar tool (or use a fine needle with caution). Position one of the lateral pins of the lug, pushing it slightly toward the case centre: the pin will retract into its seat. Remove the old strap, insert the new one by aligning the pin with the case, and release the tool. Repeat on the other side. The entire procedure takes less than one minute.

The Oris Artelier 01 734 7591 4051-07 8 21 73 accepts all straps with a 21-millimetre lug width. Compatible straps include leather (alligator, calf, shell cordovan), woven straps (NATO, military strap), and rubber straps. Milanostraps.it offers a complete collection of customisable 21mm straps ready for dispatch, selected for construction quality and aesthetic suitability for the model.

The lifespan of a leather strap depends on the tannage quality, daily usage, and maintenance. An artisanal-quality alligator or vegetable-tanned calf strap typically lasts 3–5 years with regular use and proper care. Vegetable tannage develops a natural patina that improves appearance over time. To extend service life, avoid prolonged humidity exposure and periodically apply a balm suitable for fine leather.
