Strap for Artix Pointer Moon Date Stainless Steel - Rose Gold / Silver

The lug width (also known as lug-to-lug distance) for this model is precisely 21 millimetres. This measurement represents the internal distance between the two lugs—the metal connectors that join the case to the strap. Any aftermarket strap must respect this specification exactly to ensure proper fit and eliminate lateral play. The measurement should be taken with a digital calliper, positioned perpendicular to the case at the midpoint of the lugs.

For the stainless steel and rose gold bi-colour configuration, we recommend a dark brown or mahogany alligator strap, which creates visual continuity with the rose gold and enhances the formal character of the watch. Alternatively, a black vegetable-tanned calf leather offers pronounced contrast while maintaining aesthetic refinement. For greater versatility, a grey-blue NATO strap balances the warmth of the precious metals. Dark rubber ensures visual coherence and maximum daily practicality.

Strap replacement requires a dedicated tool: a spring bar removal tool with a tapered tip. Place the watch on a soft surface (cloth or rubber pad), locate the small holes at the base of each lug, insert the tool tip into the lower hole and gently push upward to extract the metal spring bar holding the strap in place. Once removed, the strap will slide out freely. Reinstalling follows the reverse process: slide the new strap between the lugs, insert the spring bar from underneath, and ensure it locks completely.

Yes, any aftermarket strap with a 21mm lug width is compatible with the Oris Artix 01 761 7691 6331-07 5. We recommend verifying not only the millimetre measurement but also the thickness of the leather or material: premium straps (alligator, high-grade calf) offer superior material behaviour and patina that improves over time. Bespoke straps crafted by specialist ateliers guarantee perfect compatibility and aesthetic customisation.

A high-quality leather strap (alligator or vegetable-tanned calf) maintains full functionality for 3 to 5 years of daily wear, developing a beautiful patina that enhances its character over time. Longevity depends on usage intensity, moisture exposure and maintenance frequency. Alligator straps tend to resist climatic variations better. Rubber offers superior durability (5-7 years) whilst maintaining consistent material properties. Periodic care—gentle cleaning with a damp cloth, protection with specialist leather creams—significantly extends the strap's lifespan.
