Strap for Artix GT Date Stainless Steel - Ceramic / Black

The lug width of the Oris Artix GT 01 733 7671 4154-07 5 18 82FC is 20 millimetres. This dimension, measured as the internal distance between the case lugs, determines compatibility with any replacement strap. Always verify this measurement before purchasing a new strap to ensure perfect fit and correct articulation on the spring bar pins.

For the Artix GT, an alligator leather strap represents the ultimate elegance choice, thanks to its natural grain and understated sheen that mirrors the case's beige ceramic. Alternatively, vegetable-tanned calf leather offers robustness and authentic ageing. For a sport-casual approach, NATO and FKM rubber straps provide practicality and stability. Selection depends on primary use: daily formal wear suggests alligator; mixed usage favours calf leather; sport-lifestyle recommends NATO or rubber.

Strap replacement requires specific tools: a spring bar tool to remove the attachment pins. Position the tool on the pin laterally, apply moderate pressure to release the internal spring, then extract the pin completely. Repeat for both sides. Insert the new strap, guiding the pin into the seat and ensuring it clicks into place securely. Verify adhesion by gently pulling the strap; it must not move on the case.

Yes, any quality strap with 20mm lug width is compatible with the Artix GT, provided it respects technical specifications. Always verify that the strap is designated for 20mm lug width and that materials are suitable (leather, rubber, fabric). Bespoke artisanal straps from Milano Straps offer total customisation: choose material, colour, thickness and pin type, guaranteeing perfect aesthetic integration with the case.

A quality leather strap, with vegetable tanning or alligator leather, lasts on average 3–5 years with daily use, if subjected to adequate maintenance. Longevity depends on sun exposure, humidity and treatment type. Leather ages beautifully, developing patina, but may require annual conditioning. FKM rubber straps last 4–6 years. Natural fibres (NATO) resist 2–3 years. Milano Straps offers reconditioning and replacement services to significantly extend functional life.
