Strap for Equestrian 26.5 Arabic

The Longines Equestrian L6.130.4.73.2 features a 12 mm lug width. This measurement, taken between the two lugs on the case, is characteristic of this model and ensures harmonious proportions with the 26.50 mm case. Measurement should be taken with callipers across the free space between the lugs, not across the total case width.

For the Longines Equestrian L6.130.4.73.2, straps in alligator, vegetable-tanned calf leather, or shell cordovan are recommended. Alligator offers luxury elegance with fine texture; vegetable-tanned calf ensures durability and develops a noble patina over time; shell cordovan develops natural brilliance with use. On milanostraps.it you will find a curated selection of compatible 12 mm straps.

To change the strap, you must remove the lugs from the case using a dedicated tool called a lug remover. Position the remover under the lug, apply gentle lateral pressure to disengage the lug from the case. Repeat for both sides. When installing the new strap, ensure the lugs insert correctly into the case holes, avoiding any twisting that could damage them.

Yes, any strap with a 12 mm lug width is compatible with the Longines Equestrian L6.130.4.73.2, provided the length is suitable for your wrist. The artisanal straps from milanostraps.it are customizable in exact length and available with various finishing options, buckle types, and stitching colours.

A quality leather strap, subject to regular maintenance, has a lifespan of 3-5 years with daily use. Factors such as humidity, perspiration, sun exposure, and frequency of use influence longevity. A strap in vegetable-tanned leather or shell cordovan ages beautifully, developing patina and character. Artisanal straps from Casati Milano include an 18-month warranty and can be regenerated or replaced over time.
