Strap for Divers Small Second - Date Stainless Steel / Blue / Bracelet

The lug width is 24mm. This measurement is taken from the centre of one spring bar to the other and is specific to this 47mm model. Verifying this dimension is essential before purchasing an aftermarket strap to ensure complete compatibility with the case attachment points.

For a diver of this size (47mm) and technical heritage, a strap in Tuscan leather with vegetable tanning in mahogany or dark brown represents the most balanced choice between aesthetics and durability. Alternatively, a grey or black ballistic NATO strap amplifies the sporting vocation, or an FKM rubber strap for pure water use. The choice depends on intended use: formal elegance (leather), versatility (NATO), aquatic sportiness (rubber).

Strap replacement is accomplished via spring bars that connect the case to the strap. Using a dedicated tool, press gently inward to release the pin from one of the two lugs, then remove the old strap and insert the new one. The operation requires precision to avoid scratching the brushed case. Many artisans offer this service free of charge or for a nominal fee.

Yes, provided the strap is constructed specifically for a 24mm lug width and the spring bars are compatible with the internal diameter of the Oris case. Always consult the specifications of the artisan atelier before purchase to verify that the materials (leather, NATO, rubber) have been tested with the Divers model.

The lifespan of a leather strap depends on vegetable tanning and usage: naturally tanned leather can last 5-10 years with routine maintenance (rinsing with fresh water, air drying). Frequent exposure to salt water shortens material lifespan; application of natural protective waxes (linseed oil, beeswax) extends durability. The patina that develops is desirable aesthetically and indicates the material is ageing gracefully.
