1. Best Overall — Cream Saffiano Stitchless Strap
Your first strap upgrade should feel like an obvious improvement. This one does.
The Cream Saffiano Stitchless Strap uses saffiano leather — that signature cross-hatch embossed pattern you see on high-end bags and accessories. It is remarkably scratch-resistant and handles moisture better than most leathers, which makes it one of the most practical premium options you can put on a watch. At 2.2mm thick, it balances presence and wearability nicely.
The Oris Big Crown ProPilot Date's 41mm case is ideally proportioned for this strap. Whether you are wearing it casually or dressing it up, the combination feels intentional. It is the kind of pairing where both the watch and strap look better together than apart.
The kind of strap that earns a permanent spot in your rotation.
If this style appeals but you want a different tone:
- Black Saffiano Stitchless Strap
- Caramel Saffiano Stitchless Strap
- Navy Saffiano Stitchless Strap
- Orange Saffiano Stitchless Strap
2. Best Dressy — Matte Mahogany Alligator Signature Strap
The Oris Big Crown ProPilot Date cleans up remarkably well — and this strap is the reason.
The Matte Mahogany Alligator Signature Strap is crafted from genuine alligator leather — not embossed calfskin, the real thing. Each scale pattern is unique, and the matte finish gives it a refined presence that catches light without being flashy. The leather is supple from the start with minimal break-in needed. At 4.5–2.2mm thick, it balances presence and wearability nicely.
What makes this pairing work on the Oris Big Crown ProPilot Date is the contrast — the refined case finishing against the texture creates visual interest without conflict. With a 41mm case, the proportions stay balanced.
Other colours worth considering:
- Matte Black Alligator Signature Strap
- Matte Navy Alligator Signature Strap
- Matte Himalayan Alligator Signature Strap
- Matte Dark Brown Alligator Signature Strap
3. Best Everyday — Light Grey Nubuck Slim Strap
An everyday strap needs to be comfortable from the jump and work with most of what you wear.
The Light Grey Nubuck Slim Strap is crafted from nubuck leather — soft, velvety to the touch, and comfortable from the first wear. No break-in period needed. The suede-like texture adds a casual warmth that takes the edge off a formal watch without losing sophistication. At 2.2mm thick, it balances presence and wearability nicely.
On the Oris Big Crown ProPilot Date, this strap preserves the watch's go-anywhere character. The 41mm case at 12.2mm thick pairs naturally with the padded construction without creating any imbalance on the wrist.
Once you see it on the wrist, it just clicks.
The range goes deeper if you want to explore:
- Natural Nubuck Slim Strap
- Navy Nubuck Slim Strap
- Dark Brown Nubuck Slim Strap
- Pastel Blue Nubuck Slim Strap
4. Best Minimalist — Navy Shell Cordovan Slim Strap

5. Best Casual — Grey Rubberised Leather (Togo) Signature Strap
For those days when the Oris Big Crown ProPilot Date comes out with jeans and a t-shirt.
The Grey Rubberised Leather (Togo) Signature Strap uses rubberised leather — a material that blends the look and feel of leather with the water resistance and durability of rubber. The smooth finish is clean and modern, and the pastel colour options add a playful element to otherwise serious watches. At 4.5–2.2mm thick, it balances presence and wearability nicely.

6. Best Sporty — Red Pilot CTS Rubber Strap
Sport straps need to perform — water resistance, comfort, durability. This checks every box.
The Red Pilot CTS Rubber Strap is made from FKM rubber — a high-performance elastomer that resists chemicals, heat, and ageing. Unlike silicone, it does not attract dust or lint. Cut-to-size construction means you trim it to your exact wrist measurement — no leftover tail, no keepers. At 4.0–3.3mm thick, it balances presence and wearability nicely.

A Note on Buckle Colour
Quick but important: always match your buckle to your case. The Oris Big Crown ProPilot Date's Stainless steel case calls for a silver (brushed or polished) buckle. All Delugs leather straps ship with a pin buckle and can be upgraded to a Spring Deployant Clasp for extra security and convenience. All Delugs straps come with quick-release spring bars pre-installed, so swapping straps takes seconds.
How to Change the Strap on Your Oris Big Crown ProPilot Date
Swapping straps on the Oris Big Crown ProPilot Date is one of the easiest upgrades you can make — and with Delugs straps, you don't even need a tool.
If your Oris Big Crown ProPilot Date came on a bracelet, you'll first need to remove it. The easiest way to do this at home is with a Bracelet Removal Tool, which lets you compress the spring bars without risking scratches to the lugs or caseback. Once the bracelet is off, you can slide your new Delugs strap straight in.
All Delugs straps come with quick-release spring bars already pre-installed, so changing straps is completely tool-free. Here's how:
- Prepare your workspace. Lay the watch face-down on a soft cloth or microfiber pad to protect the caseback from scratches.
- Release the spring bar. Locate the small lever on the quick-release spring bar. Pull it back with your fingernail or fingertip to compress the bar.
- Remove the strap. While holding the lever, angle the strap out from between the lugs. Repeat for the other side.
- Insert the new strap. Slide one end of the spring bar into the lug hole. Pull the lever on the quick-release spring bar knob, guide the entire spring bar into the opposite lug hole, and then release the knob. You should hear a small click when the spring bar extends and seats into the lug hole.
- Check the fit. Give the strap a gentle tug to make sure both spring bars are securely locked in. If there's any play, reseat the spring bar.
The entire process takes under a minute once you get the hang of it — no spring bar tool required. The Oris Big Crown ProPilot Date uses a standard 20mm lug width, and all Delugs straps in 20mm will fit perfectly.
