Strap for Artix GT Date Stainless Steel / White - Diamond / Bracelet

The lug width of the Oris Artix GT is 20mm. This measurement represents the distance between the two spring bar attachments on either side of the case. To verify this measurement correctly, use a digital calliper and measure from wall to wall between the attachment lugs. A 20mm lug width is specific to this 37mm case and ensures optimal proportions when worn.

The optimal strap depends on your context of use. For formal occasions, an alligator strap with regular tonal grain or a vegetable-tanned calf leather offers elegance and natural ageing characteristics. For intensive daily wear, a cotton NATO or vulcanised rubber strap provides superior durability. Your choice should reflect the case's colour palette: natural tobacco with a silver dial, black for evening wear, pearl grey for blue dials.

The Oris Artix GT uses standard spring bar attachments. To change the strap, use a spring bar remover tool (a dedicated tool for extracting the lugs). Position the flat end of the tool in the access hole of the spring beneath the attachment, apply light lateral pressure to disengage the lug from its seat. Repeat on the other side. To install the new strap, align the lug holes with the two attachments and press until the spring clicks into position. The operation requires care to avoid scratching the case.

Yes, any 20mm strap is compatible with the Oris Artix GT. Quality aftermarket straps (leather, NATO, rubber) mount on the same spring bar attachments as the case. Ensure that the lug width is precisely 20mm and that any passants (keepers) are proportioned to the case diameter. On Milano Straps you will find a complete selection of 20mm straps tested and ready for dispatch.

A quality artisanal leather strap typically lasts 2–4 years with daily wear, if properly maintained. Durability depends on the tanning method (vegetable-tanned leather ages more slowly, synthetic resists moisture better), intensity of use and maintenance. A vegetable-tanned calf develops patina and character over time, requiring occasional applications of conditioning balm. A vulcanised rubber strap has potentially superior longevity if not exposed to excessive heat. All straps are easily replaceable with the appropriate tool.
