Strap for Artix GT Day Date Stainless Steel / Silver

The lug width of this model is 21 millimetres. This is the space between the case lugs where the strap attaches. Always verify with a digital calliper, measuring the inner distance between the spring bar pins, to ensure complete compatibility with aftermarket straps.

For this stainless steel case, we recommend three options: alligator or vegetable-tanned calf leather for daily sporty elegance; shell cordovan for those seeking sophisticated patina and decade-long durability; NATO strap in Cordura for aquatic or industrial environments. Choice depends on use context and desired patina development.

The procedure is straightforward: gently remove one spring bar pin from the rear of the lug using a dedicated tool (spring bar tool). Extract the worn strap, insert the new one by passing the pin through both lugs, ensuring the pin sits securely in both ends. The process takes under two minutes and requires no specialist skills.

Yes, completely. All 21mm straps in the milanostraps collection are crafted to millimetre-precision standards. Every strap leaves the atelier guaranteed for perfect compatibility with watches featuring 21mm lugs, including your Oris Artix GT.

A premium vegetable-tanned leather strap (alligator, calf, shell cordovan) lasts 8–12 years with proper care: annual hydration, protection from stagnant water, rapid drying after humid exposure. Durability decreases if exposed to constant moisture or harsh chemical environments; in such cases, a NATO strap in Cordura is the more pragmatic choice.
