Affordable Watch Straps for Oris
Oris is independent Swiss watchmaking with character — the Aquis diver, the vintage Divers Sixty-Five, the pilot-inspired Big Crown, and the modern ProPilot. Official Oris straps and bracelets run $130–$350, and premium aftermarket makers like Horus and Delugs charge $80–$150. Other sites carry rubber, leather, and mesh alternatives for $6–$30. The big quirk is the Aquis: its integrated case uses a tapered lug that's 24mm at the case and 18mm at the clasp, so it needs a fitted strap, not a standard one. The Divers Sixty-Five and Big Crown, by contrast, use a friendly 20mm.

Buying tips
- 01The Aquis uses an integrated, tapered lug — you must buy a strap fitted specifically for the Aquis, not a standard straight 24mm strap, or it will leave gaps.
- 02The Divers Sixty-Five uses a standard 20mm lug width, so any 20mm leather, NATO, or mesh strap fits with a huge selection.
- 03Check your exact Aquis case size: the 43.5mm takes a 24mm-end fitted strap, while smaller Aquis references differ.
- 04For the vintage Divers Sixty-Five, a tropic or distressed leather strap nails the 1960s aesthetic for under $20.

What strap fits the Oris Aquis?
The Oris Aquis has an integrated case where the strap or bracelet must be shaped to flow into the case, so you can't use a standard straight strap. On the 43.5mm Aquis, the strap is 24mm at the case end and tapers to 18mm at the clasp, with curved end-pieces fitted to the case. You must buy a strap made specifically for the Aquis — search 'fitted rubber strap for Oris Aquis' on other sites, where they run $12–$30. A generic 24mm straight strap will leave ugly gaps and sit wrong. Confirm your exact Aquis case diameter, since the fitting differs by size.
What lug width does the Oris Divers Sixty-Five use?
The Oris Divers Sixty-Five uses a standard 20mm lug width — and unlike the integrated Aquis, it has conventional lugs, so any 20mm strap fits. That gives you an enormous selection on other sites: tropic rubber, vintage leather, NATO, Perlon, and mesh, all for $6–$25. Because the Sixty-Five is a retro-styled skin diver, a tropic-style rubber strap or a distressed brown leather strap suits its 1960s aesthetic beautifully. The 20mm conventional lugs make it one of the most strap-friendly Oris models, and many aftermarket straps offer quick-release tabs for tool-free swaps.
Why is the Oris Aquis strap so hard to replace?
The Aquis uses an integrated lug design, meaning the case curves down into specially shaped end-pieces rather than having flat lugs that accept any straight strap. The lug also tapers — 24mm at the case down to 18mm at the buckle on the 43.5mm model — which a normal straight strap can't replicate. This is purely an aesthetic and fitment matter; the watch isn't proprietary, but the strap has to be cut and curved for the Aquis specifically. The upside is that other sites make Aquis-fitted FKM rubber and leather straps for $12–$30, far below Oris's own pricing.
What lug width does the Oris Big Crown use?
The Big Crown Pointer Date uses a standard 20mm lug width with conventional lugs, so any 20mm strap fits and the selection is excellent. A vintage-finish leather strap suits its classic pilot-watch styling, while a NATO gives a more casual, military look — both run $6–$25 on other sites. Note that the newer Big Crown ProPilot X (2025) is a different, more integrated design and uses an 18mm lug width with a fitted strap, so don't confuse the two. Always measure between your lugs and confirm which Big Crown model you have before ordering.
