Frequently asked questions

What is the lug width of the Longines Conquest L3.697.4.06.6?

The lug width is 22mm, a standard dimension for this Conquest model. This width allows for quality strap selection without compromise, from alligator to NATO fabrics. We recommend verifying the measurement with a calliper before ordering a custom strap.

What is the best strap for the Longines Conquest L3.697.4.06.6?

The ideal strap depends on use case. For a formal-sporty configuration, black alligator with vertical grain offers pure elegance. If you seek versatility, vegetable-tanned calf leather in dark brown ages beautifully. For aquatic environments, satinised rubber straps guarantee absolute functionality.

How do I change the strap on the Longines Conquest L3.697.4.06.6?

The attachments are simple threaded (not spring-loaded). Use a spring bar removal tool or dedicated spreader to gently unscrew the two lugs, extract the original strap and screw in the new one, verifying parallel alignment between case and strap. The procedure takes 2–3 minutes and requires no specialised skills.

Can I use an aftermarket-compatible strap on the Longines Conquest L3.697.4.06.6?

Yes, any strap with a 22mm lug width is compatible. Milano Straps artisanal straps have been tested on identical Conquest models and offer superior quality to industrial production straps, thanks to selected materials and hand-stitching.

How long does a leather strap last on the Longines Conquest L3.697.4.06.6?

A premium leather strap, with vegetable tanning and artisanal stitching, maintains excellent aesthetic qualities for 3–5 years of daily use. Longevity depends on exposure to moisture and perspiration. The Casati Milano atelier provides an 18-month warranty with the possibility of strap regeneration through re-stitching.
