Strap for Artix GT Chronograph Stainless Steel - Ceramic / Black / Bracelet

The Oris Artix GT 01 774 7661 4424-07 8 22 87 features a 22mm lug width, measured straight across from lug to lug. This is the international standard for sport-chronograph watches with a 44mm diameter case, ensuring broad compatibility with aftermarket straps.

For the Artix GT, a dark-toned alligator or vegetable-tanned leather enhances the racing aesthetics of the case. If you prefer to maintain the sport character, a robust NATO fabric or vulcanised rubber are coherent choices. A stainless steel deployante buckle ensures secure retention without additional perforations.

Remove the original strap by extracting the lug pins, which are available separately from certified repair centres. Insert the new pins into the 22mm aftermarket strap, ensuring the passant width matches the original. Use a specialised spring bar tool to avoid damage to the case.

Yes, any 22mm strap will be physically compatible with the Oris Artix GT thanks to standard lug pins. However, it is advisable to verify that the thickness and construction quality of the aftermarket strap meet the robustness standards of the ceramic-steel case.

A quality leather strap, properly maintained, typically lasts 3-5 years with daily wear. Vegetable-tanned Tuscan leather tends to outlast chrome-tanned leathers, developing a patina that communicates elapsed time. Prolonged exposure to water and perspiration accelerates material degradation.
