Strap for Artix GT Day Date Stainless Steel - Ceramic / Black / Bracelet

The lug width of the Oris Artix GT 01 735 7662 4434-07 8 21 85 is 21mm, an unconventional size requiring specifically engineered straps. This generous lug width ensures optimal visual proportions on the 42mm case and enables greater versatility in selecting artisanal leather straps.

For the 01 735 7662 4434-07 8 21 85, we recommend straps in mature alligator leather in dark shades (mahogany brown or ebony black), shell cordovan in deep burgundy, or vegetable-tanned calf leather in chestnut. For sports applications, vulcanised rubber in anthracite grey complements the black ceramic. Navy NATO straps in dense weave offer a more casual interpretation.

To change the strap, use a spring bar tool or lug removal instrument. Position the watch on a stable support, insert the tool into the gap between the case and the lug, gently press to release the pin, then remove the old strap. Insert the new 21mm strap, ensuring proper alignment, and reposition the spring bars until you hear them lock into place.

Yes, any high-quality artisanal strap engineered for 21mm lug width is fully compatible with this Oris model. Always verify that the spring bars are correctly positioned and that there is no lateral play between the strap and the case lugs.

A full-grain leather strap with vegetable tanning typically lasts 3 to 5 years under moderate daily wear. Longevity depends on usage frequency, exposure to moisture, and proper maintenance (periodic cleaning, protection from standing water, occasional nourishing treatments). Vulcanised rubber or NATO straps have comparable lifespan but require minimal maintenance.
