Strap for Big Crown Pointer Date 40 Stainless Steel - Rose Gold / Thailand Edition

The lug width is 20mm. This measurement is specific to this Oris reference and is measured by placing a caliper between the two lugs of the case at the strap attachment point. It is a rare dimension in the watchmaking landscape, requiring bespoke straps.

It depends on intended use and aesthetic preference. For formal elegance: alligator with vegetable tanning or shell cordovan. For avionic heritage: cotton NATO. For marine environments: FKM rubber. Milano Straps offers all these solutions in 20mm, customisable in colours that enhance the case's stainless steel.

Strap replacement is straightforward. Obtain a spring bar tool, position it perpendicularly to the pin, apply steady pressure to compress the internal spring, then extract the pin from the case. Repeat on the opposite side. Insert the new pins into the strap, align and click into the case: the pin will snap automatically into place. Reversible operation with no damage.

Yes, any strap with 20mm lug width is compatible with this reference. Milano Straps supplies artisanal straps in 20mm that respect the proportions of the 40mm case and maintain aesthetic coherence with the Big Crown's avionic design.

An alligator or calf strap with vegetable tanning, if subjected to regular maintenance (light damp cleaning, natural drying), lasts 3–5 years with daily wear. Shell cordovan, due to tannin density, easily reaches 5–7 years. FKM rubber, being waterproof and synthetic, comfortably exceeds 10 years. Milano Straps provides detailed care instructions.
