Strap for DolceVita 20 Quartz Stainless Steel MOP

The lug width of the Longines DolceVita L5.155.4.94.6 is 15mm. This non-standard measurement is specific to the rectangular case and requires straps manufactured to order or selected from dedicated catalogues. To verify correct measurement, place a ruler from the inner edge of one lug to the other: the value must be exactly 15mm.

For the Longines DolceVita L5.155.4.94.6, we recommend three primary categories: alligator (which develops natural patina over time), vegetable-tanned calf (with dramatic ageing) and shell cordovan (natural hardness and intrinsic lustre). The choice depends on personal style and context of use. An alligator strap in cognac or mocha colour with a stainless steel deployant clasp represents the ultimate pairing for this rectangular model.

Replacing the strap on the DolceVita L5.155.4.94.6 requires the use of a spring bar tool. Position the tool in the small slot between the case and the lug, apply gentle pressure to compress the internal spring, then carefully withdraw the lug. Repeat the operation on the other end. To insert the new strap, align the ends with the lug holes, insert the elastic pin and ensure it is firmly locked on both sides.

Yes, Milano Straps offers a selection of artisanal 15mm straps specifically compatible with the DolceVita L5.155.4.94.6. All straps are customisable in size, initials and stitching thread choice. It is also possible to order from the Casati Milano atelier for bespoke creations with direct leather selection and sartorial finishing.

A premium leather strap (alligator, vegetable-tanned calf, shell cordovan) has an average lifespan of 3–5 years with daily wear, or 5–8 years with regular occasional use. Longevity depends on humidity, sun exposure, frequency of wear and care. Alligator and shell cordovan tend to last longer due to their natural density. All straps produced by Milano Straps and Casati Milano include an 18-month warranty.
