Strap for Mini Dolce Vita 21.5 Quartz Stainless Steel / Silver / Triple Cuff Brown XS

The lug width is 16mm. This non-standard measurement reflects the compact proportions of the 21.50mm rectangular case and ensures perfect visual integration with the strap without irregular gaps or bunching. It is essential to verify this dimension before purchasing an aftermarket strap.

Alligator represents the most coherent formal solution: the geometric grain amplifies the rectangular language of the case. Vegetable-tanned calf offers a versatile compromise between formality and tactile pleasure. For casual wear, rigid satin calf or horsehide guarantees durability and natural patina development over time.

Strap replacement occurs through extraction of the horizontal spring bars connecting the lug to the case. It is advisable to use a dedicated strap removal tool to avoid scratching the satin metal. If you are inexperienced, entrust the task to an official Longines service centre or a specialised atelier such as Casati Milano.

Yes, provided the lug width is exactly 16mm. Milano Straps offers artisanal straps designed for this specific width, customisable in material, colour and stitching details. Compatibility is guaranteed by mechanical conformity to the original Longines spring bar attachment.

A quality calf strap with vegetable tanning lasts an average of 3-5 years with daily use. Alligator, being more durable, can last 5-8 years. Lifespan depends on UV exposure, humidity and cleaning frequency. Artisanal straps by Casati Milano include an 18-month warranty and are designed to age gracefully.
