Strap for Artelier Small Second Pointer Day 42 Stainless Steel / Silver

The lug width of this model is 22mm. This is the internal distance between the two lugs where the strap is inserted. To verify it, measure with a digital calliper the internal space between the lugs: it must be exactly 22mm.

The ideal strap depends on your wearing style. For formal occasions, we recommend black or dark brown alligator, or calf leather with vegetable tanning. For daily versatility, a NATO in cotton blue or grey is excellent. If you seek practicality, high-quality vulcanised rubber is the most wear and moisture-resistant choice.

The strap is changed using a spring bar tool. Locate the small metal pins (spring bars) inside the lugs, gently retract them with the tip of the tool and slide out the old strap. Insert the new strap in the same way, ensuring that the pins lock completely in position.

Yes, absolutely. Since the lug width is the international standard of 22mm, any quality-made strap manufactured for this width is compatible with the Oris Artelier 01 744 7665 4051-07 5 22 70FC. We recommend choosing artisanal brands that focus on construction quality to not compromise the watch's refinement.

The lifespan depends on the tanning method and usage. A high-quality leather strap with vegetable tanning lasts between 3 and 6 years of daily wear. Genuine alligator has greater longevity due to denser fibre structure. Exposure to sweat and humidity shortens the strap's life; we recommend alternating multiple straps to distribute wear and allow the leather to breathe.
