Frequently asked questions

Is the Longines DolceVita L5.655.6.16.0 compatible with aftermarket 20 mm straps?

Yes, the L5.655.6.16.0 is fully compatible with any aftermarket 20 mm strap, provided the width is exactly 20 mm. Milano Straps offers a curated selection of 20 mm straps ready for shipment, customisable in width, colour, initials, and thread. You may also commission a custom strap from the Casati Milano atelier with direct consultation and 18-month warranty.

How long does a leather strap last on the Longines DolceVita L5.655.6.16.0?

The lifespan of a leather strap depends on material choice, daily use, and maintenance. A high-quality alligator or calf strap can last 3 to 7 years with proper care (periodic cleaning, protection from standing water). Vegetable-tanned leather develops a natural protective patina that extends durability. Natural rubber offers superior longevity, typically 5 to 10 years. The Casati Milano atelier guarantees 18 months on artisanal construction.
