Strap for DolceVita 23 Quartz Stainless Steel / Silver - Roman / Yvy Leather

The lug width of the Longines DolceVita L5.512.4.71.B is exactly 17 millimetres, measured centre-to-centre between the anchor pins. This measurement is specific to the 23mm rectangular case design and is compatible with all Casati Milano artisanal straps in the 17mm collection.

For the stainless steel DolceVita, vegetable-tanned alligator represents the ultimate choice in elegance, creating visual harmony between the geometric texture of the leather and the rectangular morphology of the case. Excellent alternatives include shell cordovan for durability and accelerated patina development, and aniline calf for immediate comfort and tactile grain evolution.

Strap replacement requires extraction of the spring bars from the case lugs. Use a dedicated spring bar tool to apply inward pressure, releasing the internal spring from the anchor hole; remove the bar and disassemble the previous strap. Mount the new Casati Milano strap by aligning the holes with the lugs and reinsert the bars until they click into retention. For custom-made straps, atelier assistance is recommended.

Yes, any strap with a 17mm lug width is compatible with the DolceVita L5.512.4.71.B. Casati Milano artisanal straps are customisable in material, colour, thread type and are dimensioned with construction tolerances guaranteeing problem-free mounting. For specific requirements, a sartorial consultation via WhatsApp is advisable.

An aniline calf strap typically lasts 3-4 years with daily wear, developing visible patina within months; vegetable-tanned alligator extends durability to 5-7 years thanks to structural density; shell cordovan, the most resilient material, guarantees 8-10 years or longer. Casati Milano warranty is 18 months. Wear depends on sun exposure, humidity and frequency of changes.
