Artelier 01 732 7712 4085-Set LS— lug 20mm

The lug width of the Oris Artelier 01 732 7712 4085-Set LS is 20 millimetres. This measurement is standard for this collection and allows for the fitting of high-quality straps whilst maintaining proportional balance with the 40mm case.

The optimal strap depends on usage: alligator with vegetable tanning for formal occasions (durability guaranteed beyond 12 years), European calf leather for everyday elegance with patina evolution, cotton-polyester NATO for practicality and moisture resistance, synthetic FKM rubber for controlled sports contexts whilst maintaining the dress character of the Artelier.

Strap replacement requires extraction of the lug pins (springbars). Position the watch on a soft mat, use a dedicated tool or screwdriver tip to gently compress the internal pin, remove the old strap, insert the new strap aligning the holes to the lugs, and release the pin until you hear the locking click. If unfamiliar with the procedure, consult an authorised watchmaker.

Yes, aftermarket straps are compatible if constructed with millimetre precision. Verify that the internal measurement between the lugs is exactly 20mm. Avoid undersized low-cost straps: they do not guarantee definitive comfort and tend to deteriorate rapidly, potentially damaging the lug pins.

A quality alligator strap with vegetable tanning lasts approximately 12–15 years with ordinary maintenance (drying after moisture exposure, conditioning with specialist creams every 2–3 months). European calf lasts 5–8 years. NATO cotton-polyester resists 8–10 years. Durability depends on frequent usage, solar exposure and regular care.
