Strap for Artix Date 39 Stainless Steel / Silver / Bracelet

The lug width of the Oris Artix 01 733 7713 4031-07 8 19 80 is 19mm. This dimension, measured between the inner shoulders of the case lugs, identifies the watch as compatible with high-quality artisanal straps. Measurement is performed with a ruler or digital calliper in a straight line between the two case sides.

The best strap depends on use and personal preference. For formal elegance, we recommend alligator in vegetable tanning with natural patina or aged shell cordovan. For daily practicality, calf leather with stainless steel deployante. For tactical versatility, NATO in robust fabric. All these materials are available in 19mm custom format from Casati Milano.

Strap replacement is performed using a dedicated Spring Bar Tool to extract the elastic pins (spring bars) that connect the strap to the case. Position the tool beneath the pin, gently lever downward, and the pin retracts allowing strap removal. To install the new strap, align the holes and press the pins until the locking click. If inexperienced, we recommend having the operation performed at Casati Milano.

Yes, any artisanal or commercial strap of 19mm width is compatible with this model. Compatibility is guaranteed by lug width specification. On milanostraps.it you will find certified 19mm straps in various materials (alligator, cordovan, calf, NATO, rubber) specifically designed for this dimension and tested on Oris models in the same category.

Durability depends on material and usage. An alligator or cordovan strap in vegetable tanning, worn daily and subjected to basic maintenance (periodic cleaning, drying after humid exposure), lasts 5-7 years. A calf strap, more sensitive to wear, persists 3-4 years. The patina that develops is a sign of natural ageing, not deterioration. Periodically replacing the strap is part of conscious maintenance of a quality mechanical watch.
