Frequently asked questions

What is the lug width of the Oris Big Crown 01 754 7741 3161-Set?

The lug width of the Oris Big Crown 01 754 7741 3161-Set is exactly 20 millimetres. This measurement represents the space between the two holes where the strap attaches to the case. Always verify this dimension before purchasing an aftermarket strap.

What type of strap is ideal for this watch?

The Big Crown 01 754 7741 3161-Set pairs exceptionally well with alligator straps featuring vegetable tanning, calf leather, or robust canvas NATO straps. The watch's aviator heritage calls for minimalist strap designs. Avoid excessive ornamentation: the bronze patina requires restraint.

How do I change the strap on the Oris Big Crown 01 754 7741 3161-Set?

Remove the strap by extracting the spring bars from the lugs. Use a dedicated tool or small pin to lift the internal ferrule of the spring bar and release it from the case. Proceed with caution to avoid scratching the bronze. Patience is essential—never rush this operation.

Are compatible aftermarket straps available?

Yes. Milano Straps offers a curated selection of 20mm artisanal leather straps in natural leather, NATO, and technical rubber, all customisable online. Every strap is crafted under artisanal control to guarantee precise lug width measurements and construction quality.

How long does a natural leather strap last on a watch like the Big Crown?

A high-quality leather strap, subject to regular maintenance (gentle cleaning, protection from excessive moisture), lasts approximately 3–5 years. Usage frequency and climate conditions influence durability. Shell cordovan or alligator models can exceed 7 years of service life.
