Strap for Big Crown Swiss Hunter Team PS Edition

The lug width of the Oris Big Crown ProPilot 01 733 7669 4084-Set LS is precisely 22mm. This measurement is determined by the internal distance between the two vertical lugs of the case. To verify compatibility, measure with a ruler the distance from wall to wall of the lugs: it must be exactly 22mm. A strap of different width (20mm or 24mm) will not fit correctly.

The choice depends on intended use. For aviation authenticity: Tuscan leather with vegetable tanning in antique brown tonality, developing natural patina over time. For formal wear: calf leather in black with polished or semipolished finishes. For tactical versatility: NATO nylon strap, waterproof and rapidly interchangeable. For warm climate or flight operations: cold-vulcanised rubber with superior grip. All 22mm options are compatible with the 44mm case of this version.

Strap replacement requires minimal tools: a spring bar tool (small two-pronged instrument) available from jewellers. Insert the tool into the lateral spaces beneath the lugs, gently compressing the metal pin until release. The old strap detaches. Align the new 22mm strap on the lugs and reinsert the metal pin until locking click. Verify that the strap is firmly secured on both sides before wearing the timepiece.

Absolutely. The Oris Big Crown 01 733 7669 4084-Set LS uses standard 22mm lugs, compatible with any aftermarket strap of equal width. Artisan straps from Milano Straps are specifically designed for this measurement: Tuscan leather with vegetable tanning, alligator, calf, rubber racing and NATO. The construction quality of artisan straps often exceeds original equipment, improving comfort and longevity.

A quality leather strap (Tuscan vegetable-tanned leather or calf) lasts approximately 3-5 years with daily wear, up to 7-10 years with occasional use. Longevity depends on environmental factors (sun exposure, humidity), replacement frequency, and maintenance (periodic cleaning, drying). Vegetable tanning develops patina that makes it more resistant over time. To maximise durability, rotate multiple straps and protect from prolonged salt water exposure.
