Strap for Equestrian 26.5 Roman

The Longines Equestrian L6.130.4.71.2 features a 12mm lug width, a non-standard dimension that characterises this reduced-diameter model. This measurement is crucial for strap compatibility: measure the space between the spring bars to verify the exact width.

We recommend alligator from the American coasts for its fine grain and natural suppleness, or vegetable-tanned calf leather for those favouring traditional patina development. Both materials enhance the silver dial. For resilient daily wear, resistant calf with brushed steel deployante preserves formal harmony.

Use a spring bar tool to gently extract the spring bar attachments from each end of the case. Replace with the new strap by reinserting the spring bars into the dedicated slots until they click into place. This operation requires no specialised tools for the Longines Equestrian.

Yes, high-quality aftermarket straps with 12mm lug width are entirely compatible with the Longines Equestrian L6.130.4.71.2. Always verify that the width is exactly 12mm at the shoulder and that the spring bars are correctly dimensioned before purchase.

A quality artisanal alligator or calf strap lasts 3–5 years with regular use and proper maintenance. Longevity depends on ambient humidity, frequency of wear, and tanning type. Vegetable tanning generally outlasts industrial tanning. Periodic stitching checks extend the strap's service life.
