Strap for Artix Tycho Brahe / Bracelet

The Oris Artix 01 761 7691 4085-Set MB features a lug width of 22 mm. This dimension represents the distance between the spring bars (lugs) that secure the strap to the case, establishing compatibility with the vast majority of quality aftermarket straps currently available in the watch market.

The Artix accommodates multiple material interpretations. For formal contexts, we recommend vegetable-tanned Tuscan leather, which develops natural patina, or alligator for structured surfaces. For sportive-casual wear, NATO straps in cordura offer rapid interchangeability, whilst vulcanised rubber provides tactical grip. The 42 mm stainless steel case accepts ennobling from any material whilst maintaining visual coherence.

Strap replacement requires a specialised spring bar tool. Position the watch on a soft surface and insert the forked tip of the tool into the small slot on the lug spring bar. Release the internal spring and extract the metal pin. Repeat on the opposite side. To install the new strap, reverse the procedure, aligning the strap holes with the spring bars and pressing until you hear a click.

All aftermarket straps featuring a 22 mm lug width are compatible. These include leather straps in Tuscan leather, calf, shell cordovan, alligator, NATO straps in cordura, and rubber straps. Milano Straps offers a dedicated collection of 22 mm straps selected for construction quality and longevity, customisable according to chromatic and material preferences.

A quality leather strap with vegetable tanning typically maintains full functionality for 3-5 years of daily wear, with progressive wear amplifying aesthetic character—patina, shading. Longevity depends on climate, wear frequency, and maintenance hygiene. Vegetable-tanned leather permits professional repairs and restoration, extending functional life beyond simple replacement. Alligator, being more structured, frequently achieves 8-10 years of service.
