Strap for Oris Rectangular 01 733 7593 4089

The lug width of the Oris Rectangular 01 733 7593 4089 is 28mm. This measurement refers to the distance between the two lower attachment points of the lugs to the case. To measure accurately, place a ruler from the inner edge of one lug to the inner edge of the other lug; the value must be exactly 28mm. Any strap with a corresponding lug width will be perfectly compatible with this timepiece.

The choice depends on your usage context and aesthetic preferences. For formal elegance, a vegetable-tanned leather strap with natural patina enhances the Art Déco character of the case. For durability and luxury, alligator offers pronounced texture and superior resistance. A NATO strap in heavy canvas provides versatility and personality, whilst FKM rubber is the most practical solution for daily wear. For the Rectangular, we recommend starting with vegetable-tanned leather and experimenting with variants according to occasion.

Changing the strap requires a spring bar tool (a fork-shaped instrument). Position the watch with the lugs facing you, insert the tip of the spring bar tool into the small opening beneath the lug, then apply upward pressure to release the internal spring. Once the lug is free, the strap slides away easily. To insert the new strap, align the two lateral holes with the lugs and use the same tool to press the spring downward until it reaches its final position.

Yes, numerous aftermarket straps are compatible with this model, provided they feature a 28mm lug width. Most specialist manufacturers—including those operating online—offer straps in leather, NATO, rubber and other materials with this specific measurement. It is essential to always verify the lug width in the strap's technical specifications before purchase. Many online retailers allow strap customisation according to your dial and personal style.

The lifespan of a leather strap depends on the tanning quality, frequency of use and maintenance care. A quality vegetable-tanned leather strap, worn daily and subjected to regular maintenance (cleaning with a damp cloth, occasional oiling), can last 4-6 years before requiring replacement. An alligator strap, being more robust, can exceed 7-8 years. FKM rubber has greater durability but tends to lose elasticity after 5-7 years of intensive use. Periodic strap changes not only keep the watch in optimal condition but also allow you to experiment with different colour combinations.
