Strap for DolceVita 25.8 Quartz Stainless Steel / Diamond / MOP

The lug width of the Longines DolceVita L5.755.0.87.2 is 19 mm. This specific measurement determines compatibility with any strap. To verify it, measure the internal distance between the two lugs on the case: it must correspond exactly to 19 mm.

The best strap depends on your intended use. For formal occasions, we recommend alligator in black or dark brown, which enhances the case's sophistication. For daily wear, a vegetable-tanned calf leather strap offers versatility and develops a beautiful patina over time. For light sports activities, a NATO canvas strap maintains the model's character with greater practicality.

Strap replacement is accomplished through the spring bars attached to the lugs. Use a dedicated watch strap removal tool, inserting the tip under the internal bar pin and pushing outward to release the old strap. Then align the new strap with the lug and press the spring bar until it seats naturally. If uncertain, consult a professional watchmaker.

Any strap manufactured with a 19 mm lug width is compatible with the DolceVita L5.755.0.87.2. The milanostraps.it collection offers artisanal straps in alligator, vegetable-tanned calf, NATO, and rubber, all available in 19 mm and customizable according to your preferences.

Leather strap durability depends on usage and material quality. A high-quality alligator or calf leather strap typically lasts 3-5 years with daily wear before replacement is needed due to lug attachment wear. Vegetable-tanned leather improves aesthetically over time, developing natural patina. Casati Milano's guarantee on custom straps is 18 months, covering manufacturing defects.
