Strap for Elegant Collection Automatic 41 Stainless Steel / Anthracite - Diamond

The lug width of the Longines Elegant L4.911.4.78.2 is 20mm. This is the distance between the spring bars that attach the strap to the case. Always verify this measurement before purchasing an aftermarket strap to ensure perfect compatibility.

The most suitable options are alligator leather in black or chocolate brown, vegetable-tanned calf leather, or shell cordovan in rust tones. These materials preserve the elegant and formal aesthetic of the collection. For a sportier approach, high-quality natural rubber is also appropriate.

Remove the spring bars from their seats in the case using a dedicated tool or multi-tool. Gently extract the bars from the lugs, position the new strap, and reinsert the bars. It is a straightforward operation but requires precision to avoid scratching the case.

Yes, all straps with a 20mm lug width are compatible. Extensive choice of aftermarket straps in various materials and colours is readily available online. Milanostraps offers a collection of customisable 20mm straps.

A quality leather strap with vegetable tanning lasts approximately 3-5 years with daily wear. Longevity depends on usage, care, and the specific material. Leather develops a unique patina over time. Alligator or shell cordovan straps tend to last longer.
