Strap for Artelier Chronograph 44 Stainless Steel / Silver / Bracelet

The lug width is 22mm. This measurement refers to the spacing between the two lugs on the case, where the strap is installed. To verify accurately, measure the internal space from the base of one lug to the other using a ruler.

For this dress-sport model, we recommend a strap in vegetable-tanned leather in brown tones, which develops natural patina over time, or grey alligator leather for formal occasions. A versatile alternative is a navy NATO strap with a stainless steel buckle, maintaining the elegance of the visible movement.

Use a spring bar removal tool: insert the tip into the small notch beneath the lug, lift the internal pin carefully, and lower the spring bar. Repeat on the other lug. Install the new strap by reversing the procedure. Avoid hammering directly on the spring bars, as they are sensitive to impact damage.

Yes. Any strap with a 22mm lug width is compatible. Artisanal Italian leather straps from Milano Straps fit perfectly with Oris standard spring bars. Verify that the strap shows no visible defects or damage to the lug holes before installation.

A vegetable-tanned leather strap of good quality lasts 2-4 years with daily wear, developing elegant patina. Hastalot calf leather: 3-5 years. Durability depends on frequency of use, ambient humidity, and maintenance. Bi-monthly cleaning with a damp cloth extends the leather's lifespan. Direct exposure to intense sunlight and saltwater reduces durability.
