Strap for Equestrian Horseshoe 30 Diamond / Roman

The lug width of the Longines Equestrian L6.137.0.71.2 is precisely 14mm. This measurement is characteristic of Longines' women's models and is compatible exclusively with 14mm watch straps. To measure, place a calliper on the external band width after removing the strap from the case by extracting the lateral spring bars.

We recommend a natural alligator strap in cognac or black with polished finish, which maintains aesthetic continuity with the collection's equestrian heritage. Alternatively, vegetable-tanned calf leather with naturally developed patina offers versatility and character. For those preferring contemporary design, a silk NATO with laminated leather backing provides lasting durability. All our 14mm straps are available with personalizable deployant or ardillon buckles.

Position the watch with the strap parallel to the table. Locate the small spring bars positioned horizontally at the sides of the case, corresponding to the lugs. Using a flat thin tool (strap removal tool or small screwdriver), gently press the spring bar towards the case centre to release it from its housing. Once the pin is extracted, the old strap slides off easily. Align the new strap's holes with the pins and reinsert the spring bars in the same order. Verify the strap is securely fastened before wearing the watch.

Yes, the L6.137.0.71.2 is fully compatible with aftermarket 14mm straps manufactured to LUGS standards. Our straps feature internal lugs calibrated to 14mm, ensuring a perfect fit without play. We recommend straps crafted from premium leather (alligator, shell cordovan, calf) or certified technical fabrics, avoiding inferior materials that could damage the case lugs over time.

Strap longevity depends on leather quality, frequency of use, and climatic conditions. A premium-grade alligator or shell cordovan strap with moderate daily use typically lasts 3-4 years before showing aesthetic wear. Vegetable-tanned calf, being more absorbent, usually endures 2-3 years in temperate climate. Our straps include an 18-month warranty against manufacturing defects. Regular maintenance—cleaning with a damp cloth and annual conditioning with natural waxes—significantly extends strap lifespan.
