Strap for Oris Flight Timer 01 635 7568 4064

The lug width is 21mm. This measurement represents the space between the two lugs of the Oris case. To verify correctly, place a ruler perpendicular to the case, measuring the internal distance between one lug and the other. The 21mm specification ensures perfect compatibility with all artisanal straps in our dedicated collection.

For the Flight Timer, we recommend black or dark brown alligator, which enhances the instrumental cockpit aesthetic. Alternatively, vegetable-tanned calf leather in caramel brown offers natural patina and progressive ageing. NATO and technical rubber straps maintain pure aviatory character, ideal for humid climates and intensive use. The choice depends on purpose: formal vs. sporty.

The strap is replaced by removing the spring bars that connect the strap to the lugs. Use a dedicated removal tool or a small flat screwdriver to push the bar towards the centre and detach it. Once both lugs are free, insert the new strap by aligning its holes with the spring bars, then press until they click into place. The operation takes 2-3 minutes.

Yes, absolutely. The Flight Timer accepts any artisanal strap with 21mm lug width. Aftermarket straps offer advantages: superior material choice (alligator, shell cordovan, vegetable calf), customisation options (colours, finishes, thickness), and lower costs than Oris OEM straps. Italian artisanal quality guarantees durability and finishes on par with the luxury segment.

A quality leather strap (alligator, vegetable calf, shell cordovan) typically lasts 3-5 years with daily use, up to 7-8 years with rotation between multiple straps. Longevity depends on climate (humidity and heat accelerate wear), frequency of use, and care. Vegetable-tanned straps develop natural patina and remain functional even beyond 5 years, only changing in aesthetic appearance. Technical rubber resists 4-6 years in marine environments. Regular maintenance (cleaning, conditioning) extends useful life.
