Strap for Oris Artix 01 733 7713 4035

The lug width of this model is 19mm. This measurement refers to the internal distance between the attachment lugs on the case. It is essential to verify this dimension before purchasing an aftermarket strap, as a strap with different lug width will not fit correctly into the case lugs.

The ideal strap depends on intended use. For formal or professional contexts, a dark brown alligator strap or Tuscan leather in vegetable tanning ensures elegance and develops natural patina over time. For everyday versatility, a cognac-coloured calf leather or navy NATO strap offers aesthetic balance and practicality. For humid or sports environments, vulcanised rubber provides the most robust solution.

The Oris Artix 01 733 7713 4035 strap is attached via rigid lugs to the case lugs. To replace it, use a dedicated tool (spring bar tool) to disengage the elastic pins securing the strap to the lugs. Position the tool in the pin seat, apply light inward pressure and slide the pin out of the lug. Repeat for both sides, then align the new strap's lugs and reinsert the pins until they click into place.

Any strap with a 19mm lug width is compatible. The selection includes Italian leather (calf, alligator, shell cordovan), NATO fabrics, vulcanised rubber, stainless steel mesh and ostrich leather. Bespoke straps allow you to choose thickness, colour, finish and buckle covering according to personal preference.

Durability depends on tanning quality and intensity of use. A vegetable-tanned Tuscan calf strap worn daily maintains structural integrity between 3 and 5 years before showing seam failure or material deterioration. A superior-quality alligator strap can last 5-7 years. Exposure to perspiration, fresh water and direct sunlight accelerates ageing. Proper care—periodic cleaning, drying away from direct sunlight, conditioning with natural oils—significantly extends useful life.
