Frequently asked questions
Are aftermarket straps compatible with the Longines DolceVita L5.158.5.88.7?

What is the lifespan of a leather strap for the Longines DolceVita L5.158.5.88.7?
The lifespan of a leather strap depends on the tanning method and intensity of use. A high-grade alligator or calf strap, worn daily, typically lasts 18–24 months before replacement. Vegetable-tanned leather ages faster (12–16 months) but develops a beautiful patina. With occasional wear, longevity can extend by 6–12 months. Casati Milano guarantees its bespoke straps for 18 months.
