Strap for Divers Date Stainless Steel / Blue / Rubber

The Oris Divers 01 733 7533 8555-07 4 24 34EB is fitted with 24mm lugs. This dimension is standard across Oris 44mm cases and ensures a balanced proportion between the case diameter and the strap interface. The measurement should be taken between the metal lugs, perpendicular to the case.

The choice depends on intended use and aesthetic preference. For vintage authenticity aligned with heritage, an alligator strap in vegetable tanning with cognac patina accentuates the period character. For diving, a technical rubber strap in black or blue offers maximum practicality and resistance. A grey-slate NATO represents the ideal compromise between formality and functionality, preserving the tool watch spirit of the model.

The Oris Divers features screw-down lugs: position the watch face-down, locate the small holes on the lugs (typically lateral) and use a fine Phillips screwdriver to gently unscrew the pins. Once extracted, the old strap releases. To install the new 24mm strap, align the pins with the holes and screw with moderate pressure, avoiding excessive tightening which could strip the threads.

Technically yes, provided the strap is specifically dimensioned for 24mm lugs. However, the construction quality of the strap significantly influences the watch's perception and behaviour on the wrist. An artisanal strap crafted from full-grain leather or quality vulcanised rubber ensures stability, comfort and an aesthetic patina that evolves with time, unlike industrial straps which age without distinction.

The lifespan of a leather strap depends on tanning type, usage and maintenance. High-quality vegetable-tanned alligator can last 5-7 years with regular wear, developing a desirable patina over time. Oiled calfskin, more densely structured, guarantees 4-5 years of moderate use. Vulcanised rubber, if not exposed to prolonged UV exposure, maintains elasticity and resistance beyond 3-4 years. Regular maintenance (cleaning, drying, natural cream protection) significantly extends longevity.
