Strap for Conquest Heritage 40mm Pink Gold Black

The lug width of the Longines Conquest Heritage L1.645.8.52.4 is exactly 20mm. This measurement is taken between the inner shoulders of the lugs, and it is the essential parameter for selecting compatible watch straps. Do not confuse this with the distance between the outer lugs, which is greater. Precise measurement with a digital calliper ensures you avoid undersized or oversized straps.

For a Longines Conquest Heritage L1.645.8.52.4 in 18-carat rose gold, alligator straps in deep burgundy or brown are ideal, or shell cordovan with vegetable tanning. These materials respect the warm tone of the case and ensure aesthetic cohesion. For informal wear, a grey-taupe nubuck or a khaki NATO strap offers contemporary contrast without compromising elegance.

The strap is changed using a spring bar remover or a small flathead screwdriver. Locate the small metal springs (spring bars) at the ends of the lugs, gently compress the upper one to release the strap, then extract carefully. Insert the new strap by aligning the hole with the lug hook, and ensure the spring clicks securely on both sides. Avoid forcing to prevent scratching the case.

Yes, any strap with a 20mm lug width is compatible with the Longines Conquest Heritage L1.645.8.52.4. High-quality artisan straps in alligator, shell cordovan, calf leather and canvas NATO guarantee perfect fit. Always verify the lug width before purchase to avoid incompatibility, and choose leather thicknesses appropriate to the case (not too thick, which would weigh down the wrist).

The lifespan of a leather strap depends on usage, material quality and care. A high-quality alligator or shell cordovan strap with vegetable tanning lasts an average of 3–5 years in daily wear. Natural leather develops a patina and may show slight signs of wear, which add character. A standard calf strap lasts 2–3 years. Specialist craftsmen can extend service life through periodic restoration and refinishing; many artisan straps come with an 18-month warranty against manufacturing defects.
