Strap for Artix GT Date Stainless Steel - Ceramic / Black / Rubber

The lug width (or strap width) of this timepiece is precisely 18mm. Measure from the centre of one spring bar pin to the centre of the other, positioning your calliper perpendicular to the case between the metal attachment points that originally held the factory strap.

We recommend vegetable-tanned alligator, which creates visual stratification with the ceramic case through organic surface texture; fine-grain calf leather for understated elegance; structured rubber to preserve the watch's sport heritage. Selection depends on your intended context and the patina evolution you wish to develop over time.

Remove the watch from your wrist. Using a dedicated spring bar tool or a thin, flat implement, gently press inward on the spring mechanism that secures the pin, allowing the pin to slide clear of the case lug. Repeat on the opposite side. Insert your new 18mm strap into the same lugs, ensuring the spring returns to its resting position.

Yes, absolutely. An artisanal 18mm strap installs into the identical lug apertures with zero mechanical stress or case modification. It offers complete compatibility whilst enhancing aesthetic appeal through superior material selection and craftsmanship.

A quality, vegetable-tanned leather strap with artisanal construction withstands 3-5 years of daily wear, developing a patina that amplifies aesthetic value. Longevity depends on moisture exposure, UV exposure, and usage frequency. Minimal maintenance—periodic cleaning and thorough drying—significantly extends strap lifespan.
