The Heritage

The Oris Big Crown 01 754 7779 4065-Set is a modern evolution of a professional dive tool from the 1970s, featuring a distinctive 6.5mm crown designed for operation with diving gloves. The 38mm brushed-satin stainless steel case reaches 30 bar water resistance and houses the Oris caliber 754 movement with hours, minutes, seconds, and date. The strap width is precisely 19mm, an unusual specification that matches the case anatomy and requires purpose-designed straps for proper fit and retention without aesthetic compromise.

FAQ

What is the lug width of the Oris Big Crown 01 754 7779 4065-Set?

The lug width is precisely 19mm, a specialist measurement that requires dedicated straps to ensure correct fit between the lugs and the strap keeper. It is not compatible with standard 18mm or 20mm straps.

What strap is recommended for the Oris Big Crown 01 754 7779 4065-Set?

For daily wear and formal occasions, an alligator or vegetable-tanned calf leather strap offers elegance and natural patina. For frequent diving, a thick NATO or FKM rubber ensures water resistance and rapid drying. A deployante clasp is always recommended for security and practicality.

How do I change the strap on the Oris Big Crown 01 754 7779 4065-Set?

Changing requires a dedicated spring bar tool to remove the spring bars retaining the old strap. Position the tool in the small hole beneath the keeper, press gently to release the bar, then remove the old strap. Insert the new bar into the lower opening of the 19mm strap and snap it into the case seats. Verify the strap is centred.

Is there an aftermarket strap compatible with this model?

Yes, provided it is manufactured specifically for 19mm lug width. Milano Straps offers leather, NATO, and rubber straps compatible with the Oris Big Crown 01 754 7779 4065-Set. We always recommend verifying exact width before purchase to avoid aesthetic compromise.

How long does a leather strap last on a dive watch like this one?

A vegetable-tanned leather strap lasts 18–36 months with daily wear, especially if regularly exposed to saltwater. Prolonged humidity exposure accelerates fibre ageing. For frequent diving, rubber or NATO straps are more economical and durable (24–48 months). Rotating between straps extends the lifespan of each piece.
