Strap for DolceVita 25.8 Quartz Stainless Steel / MOP

The lug width of the Longines DolceVita L5.755.4.87.2 is 19 mm. This exceptionally rare size is specific to this model and must be measured from inner edge to inner edge of the lug seat. A strap with a different width (18 mm or 20 mm) will not fit your watch. Always verify compatibility before purchasing.

Alligator leather with vegetable tanning is the ideal choice, as it emphasises the watch's aesthetic purity. Alternatively, black calfskin or shell cordovan offer excellent quality and full compatibility. For casual contexts, a grey or navy NATO maintains coherence. Avoid overly distracting textures: the DolceVita speaks for itself.

Remove the original strap by extracting the spring bars from the case (small metal pins perpendicular to the lugs). Position the new 19 mm strap and reinsert the bars until they click into place. Ensure the lugs are perfectly seated in the case seats. If inexperienced, a qualified watchmaker takes less than 5 minutes.

Yes. On MilanoStraps you'll find a selection of artisan 19 mm straps, shipped immediately and customisable. The Casati Milano atelier crafts bespoke straps by appointment, with personal leather selection, preferred stitching thread, and an 18-month warranty.

A quality alligator or calfskin strap lasts 4-6 years with proper maintenance (occasional cleaning, storage away from extreme humidity). Shell cordovan lasts 7-8 years thanks to its density. Longevity depends on use: daily wear accelerates natural ageing, a patina that is part of the charm of artisan leather.
