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

The lug width of this Artelier model is 22mm. This measurement is taken internally from one lug bar to the other, excluding the buckle. It is a widely adopted standard that ensures compatibility with the majority of specialised straps available in the market.

The choice depends on intended use. For formal occasions, we recommend alligator or vegetable-tanned calf leather in brown or burgundy tones. For daily wear, a cotton NATO or robust leather ensures practicality and longevity. The selection should balance the understated aesthetics of the Artelier with your actual wearing requirements.

The Oris 01 744 7665 4054-07 5 22 71FC is opened via articulated lugs: using a dedicated spring bar remover tool, extract the tension spring from one lug and slide the lug bar out from its seat. Repeat identically on the opposite side. The operation requires care to avoid scratching the stainless steel case. Milano Straps recommends enlisting a skilled watchmaker if you do not possess the specialised tool.

Absolutely. The 22mm lug width is an international standard that guarantees compatibility with straps from manufacturers other than Oris. Artisanal leather straps from Milano Straps, for instance, adapt perfectly to the 01 744 7665 4054-07 5 22 71FC without requiring any modifications to the case.

A quality leather strap (vegetable-tanned, calf, alligator) typically lasts 4–6 years with occasional wear, or 2–3 years with intensive daily use. Durability is influenced by exposure to perspiration, humidity, and sunlight. Regular maintenance with natural wax and storage in a dry environment significantly extends the strap's lifespan.
