The Oris ProPilot Altimeter Carbon / Feet takes a 23 mm strap: measure between the lugs and that is the only number you need. A field or pilot watch at heart, it suits canvas, nylon and matte leather more than polished calf. With a 47 mm case and 100 m of water resistance, a thicker strap balances the case. Automatic movement. Most straps here come with quick-release spring bars, so the swap takes a minute and no tool.
