Strap for Rectangular Date 24.5 Stainless Steel / Silver - Arabic / Bracelet

The lug width of the Oris Rectangular 01 561 7656 4061-07 8 17 82 is 17 mm. This measurement is essential for selecting a compatible strap: any 17 mm strap will fit perfectly onto the case lugs without creating unwanted gaps or tension.

For the Rectangular, we recommend an alligator strap in black for formal wear, vegetable-tanned calf leather for those seeking warmth and patina development, or canvas NATO for sportive versatility. The choice depends on usage and dial colour: black alligator with silver dial creates maximum contrast; brown calf with blue dial introduces luminous harmony.

Use a spring bar tool or small hammer to gently push the lug terminators (pins) inward from the case. Position the new 17 mm strap into the attachment points and reinsert the pins, ensuring they are aligned symmetrically. Work carefully to avoid scratching the stainless steel case.

Yes, any strap with a 17 mm lug width is compatible. We recommend verifying the width with precision: even 0.5 mm difference can create excessive play or tension. Milano Straps offers 17 mm straps specifically tested for watches with this lug attachment.

A quality leather strap (alligator or calf) lasts approximately 2–4 years with daily use, depending on climate and frequency of wear. Vegetable-tanned leather tends to develop a fascinating patina over time. We recommend regular cleaning and rotating with other straps to extend longevity.
