Frequently asked questions
Which type of strap is best suited for the Longines Equestrian L6.135.0.73.2?
For this 23mm ladies' model, alligator in brown or black tones is the most elegant choice, enhancing the dress-formal nature of the watch. Vegetable-tanned calf leather offers a more versatile alternative for everyday wear, whilst shell cordovan provides superior density and longevity. For sporty contexts, a NATO strap in nylon is practical and can be changed without tools.
Are aftermarket straps compatible with the Longines Equestrian L6.135.0.73.2?
Yes, any strap with a 10-millimetre lug width is compatible. Our collection includes artisanal straps crafted specifically for this lug width. It is essential to verify that the strap is sized correctly for the case width (approximately 10mm) so that the result is both aesthetic and functional. Custom straps also allow precise adjustment of the wrist circumference.
How long does a leather strap last on this watch?
A high-quality leather strap (alligator, vegetable-tanned calf, or shell cordovan) typically lasts 3–5 years with normal daily use, depending on exposure to moisture, perspiration, and UV rays. Vegetable tanning ages more gracefully, developing a desirable patina. A nylon NATO strap can last 5–7 years. Milano Straps craftsmanship carries an 18-month warranty covering manufacturing defects.
