Strap for Conquest Heritage 40mm Yellow Gold

The Longines Conquest Heritage L1.645.6.75.4 features a lug width of 20 millimetres. This dimension, measured internally between the two case lugs, determines strap compatibility. You can verify it by placing a digital calliper perpendicularly between the upper lug attachments.

For this yellow gold model, an alligator strap with medium grain represents the optimal choice. The natural crocodile texture dialogues elegantly with gold, creating sophisticated light interplay. A vegetable-tanned calf strap in brown or cognac offers formal versatility with natural ageing patina.

Strap replacement is achieved by removing the pins that connect the strap to the case. Use a dedicated spring bar tool extractor to avoid damage. Position the new strap, ensuring the pins are correctly aligned and fully seated. Never force the case to prevent compromising the lugs.

Absolutely yes. The 20 millimetre lug width allows compatibility with quality artisanal straps. On milanostraps.it you will find numerous options in alligator, calf, shell cordovan and textiles, all tested for mechanical compatibility and comfort.

Durability depends on material and usage. A quality alligator strap can last 5-7 years with regular maintenance. Vegetable-tanned calf naturally ages over 3-5 years. Factors such as perspiration, sun exposure and frequency of use significantly affect longevity.
