Strap for Rectangular Complication Stainless Steel / Silver - Arabic / Bracelet

The lug width (misura ansa in Italian) of the Oris Rectangular 01 581 7658 4061-07 8 23 82 is 23mm. This dimension is specific to this model and requires careful sourcing of compatible straps, as most aftermarket production concentrates on 20mm, 22mm, or 24mm widths. To verify with absolute precision, measure the internal space between the lugs with a digital caliper.

Alligator represents the most aesthetically coherent choice, aligned with the Art Déco identity of the Rectangular: its regular grain pattern creates a texture that dialogues perfectly with the geometric construction of the case. A quality alternative is calf leather with vegetable tanning, which develops natural amber and hazelnut patina over the first twelve months. For functional daily wear, textile NATO or FKM rubber offer durability without compromise.

Use a dedicated springbar removal tool or consult an expert watchmaker. Gently insert the tool under the transverse pin securing the strap to the lugs, lift with uniform pressure from both sides, and the old strap will release without stress on the case. Repeat the inverse operation with the new strap, ensuring the springbars are completely seated in their sockets.

Yes, provided the strap is certified as exactly 23mm. Milano Straps manufactures bespoke artisan straps in 23mm specifically for this lug width: in alligator, calf leather, NATO, and rubber. The Casati Milano atelier offers custom-made personalizations, guaranteeing that aesthetic proportions respect Oris's original design.

A high-quality leather strap (alligator or vegetable-tanned calf) typically lasts 5-7 years with intensive daily use, developing patina and character over time. Longevity depends on exposure to moisture, perspiration, and sunlight. An FKM rubber strap lasts 15-20 years without visual alterations. A textile NATO resists 8-12 years. Regular maintenance (cleaning and conditioning with neutral oils) significantly extends lifespan.
