Strap for Artix GT Date Stainless Steel / Brown / Rubber

The lug width of the Oris Artix GT is 20 millimetres. This standard measurement in the sports luxury watch segment is taken internally between the two case lugs. To verify, use a calliper from the base of one lug to the other: the reading must be exactly 20mm to ensure perfect compatibility with aftermarket straps.

The choice depends on use and personal preference. For discreet elegance, we recommend vegetable-tanned alligator with a medium vertical grain. For everyday versatility, calf leather in brown or hazelnut tones is ideal. For a sporty emphasis, a NATO fabric strap or vulcanised rubber in high-density construction emphasises the watch's technical character.

Strap replacement involves removing the two spring bars that connect the lugs to the case. Use a dedicated tool to compress the internal spring of each pin, extracting it gently. Once the lugs are free, align the new strap's holes and reinsert the pins until they click into place. Never force; the mechanism should be fluid.

Yes, provided the strap is specified for 20mm lug width. Dimensional compatibility is assured, but always check that the buckle or deployant, if present, does not interfere with the case lugs. Quality straps built to this standard guarantee a flawless and durable fit.

A quality leather strap, made with vegetable tanning, typically lasts 3-4 years with moderate daily wear. Longevity depends on ambient humidity, frequency of wear and maintenance. Alligator or shell cordovan straps tend to last longer due to fibre density. Rubber and NATO straps, if well-constructed, easily exceed 5-6 years of intensive use.
