Strap for Mini Dolce Vita 21.5 Quartz Stainless Steel - Diamond / Silver / Bracelet

The lug width of the Longines DolceVita L5.200.0.71.6 is 16mm. This measurement is model-specific and tolerates no constructive variations. To verify, measure with a digital calliper the internal distance between the two lugs of the case.

For this watch with Art Déco proportions, we recommend African alligator in natural or tortora tones: the grain texture of the leather and progressive patina dialogue perfectly with the silvered dial. Excellent alternatives include cognac aniline calf and bordeaux shell cordovan for those desiring a warmer appearance.

The DolceVita straps are fixed via standard lugs. You will need a spring bar tool to gently extract the pin that connects the strap to the case lugs. Position the tool in the lateral slot of the pin, press gently and the strap will detach. Repeat from the other side. Insertion of the new strap follows the reverse procedure.

Yes, provided the lug width is exactly 16mm. Milano Straps supplies a complete collection of compatible 16mm straps, both in standard and personalised versions. Always verify that the strap thickness is coherent with the refined proportions of the case.

With regular use, an alligator or aniline calf strap lasts approximately 2-3 years before requiring replacement, though the patina continues to evolve positively. Shell cordovan has greater longevity (3-4 years) due to leather density. Durability depends on frequency of use, water exposure and climate. The Casati Milano atelier offers an 18-month warranty on all bespoke straps.
