Strap for Artelier Skeleton 40 Stainless Steel

The lug width of the Oris Artelier 01 734 7721 4051-07 5 21 34FC is 21 millimetres. This measurement is the distance between the lugs of the case and must be measured accurately using a digital calliper. It is essential to select straps sized precisely at 21mm to ensure a perfect fit without mechanical play.

For the Oris Artelier 01 734 7721 4051-07 5 21 34FC we recommend an alligator leather strap with vegetable tanning in brown or black, which emphasises the classical elegance of the enamelled dial. Alternatively, a regenerated calf strap offers excellent value for money, whilst a grey or black NATO strap provides versatility for more informal contexts. FKM rubber is the ideal choice for harsh working conditions.

To change the strap on the Oris Artelier 01 734 7721 4051-07 5 21 34FC, gently push the spring bar (small metal pin at the base of the lug) with an appropriate tool, typically a dedicated removal tool or fine screwdriver. The strap will slide outward. To install the new strap, align the holes with the spring bar and push until it clicks into place. This is a delicate operation: we recommend quality tools to avoid damage to the case.

The range of 21mm straps compatible with the Oris Artelier 01 734 7721 4051-07 5 21 34FC includes alligator leather, embossed alligator, regenerated calf, cotton NATO, nylon, FKM rubber and silicone. Each material offers different characteristics: leather ensures elegance and patina over time, NATO provides versatility and durability, rubber offers water and solvent resistance. Models are available in neutral colours (black, brown, grey, beige) and are customisable online.

A natural leather strap with vegetable tanning on the Oris Artelier 01 734 7721 4051-07 5 21 34FC has a lifespan of between 3 and 5 years with moderate daily use. Durability depends on factors such as ambient humidity, frequency of water immersion, direct sunlight exposure and regular maintenance. Periodic maintenance (conditioning with specific creams) significantly extends the strap's life. Wear signs (fading, minor creasing) are characteristic of natural patina and do not compromise functionality.
