Frequently asked questions
What is the lug width of the Longines DolceVita L5.657.4.78.2?
The lug width of this model is exactly 20 mm. This dimension represents the distance between the two case attachment points where the strap is inserted. It is essential to verify this measurement when purchasing an aftermarket strap to ensure perfect compatibility.
Which strap do you recommend for the Longines DolceVita L5.657.4.78.2?
For the DolceVita, we recommend dark brown alligator for formal occasions, calf leather in vegetable tanning for elegant daily wear, or shell cordovan for those seeking extraordinary durability. The choice depends on usage: ceremony, office, or daily versatility. Best colours are brown, cognac, black, or burgundy.
How do you change the strap on this Longines model?
The Longines DolceVita uses standard attachment points with sliding lugs. Position the watch with the case facing upward, insert a spring bar tool into the lateral spaces of the lugs, gently lift to release tension, then slide the old strap outward. Insert the new 20 mm strap using the reverse procedure.
Are there aftermarket straps compatible with the reference L5.657.4.78.2?
Yes, all straps with 20 mm lug width are compatible with this model. In our online catalogue, you will find a selection of 20 mm straps in various materials and colours, ready for shipment. For a bespoke solution, Casati Milano creates custom straps with an 18-month warranty.
How long does a leather strap last on a watch like the DolceVita?
A quality leather strap, such as alligator or vegetable-tanned calf, typically lasts 4-6 years with daily wear, and longer if worn occasionally. Durability depends on factors such as humidity, sun exposure, and frequency of use. Synthetic materials and rubber offer greater longevity but less aesthetic appeal.
