Strap for Equestrian Horseshoe 30 Diamond / Arabic

The lug width of the Longines Equestrian L6.137.0.73.2 is 14mm, a non-standard measurement requiring specifically cut straps. This dimension is characteristic of the 30mm ladies' model and must be measured accurately between the case lugs to avoid compatibility errors. Milano Straps offers a dedicated selection of 14mm straps ready for immediate shipment.

The ideal strap depends on usage context. Cognac or black alligator represents the classic and elegant choice for formal occasions. Vegetable-tanned calf leather is perfect if you desire a patina that evolves over time. Cotton NATO in beige or navy blue honours the equestrian heritage of the model. FKM rubber is the modern solution for those who prioritise practicality and resistance. All these materials are available in 14mm at Milano Straps.

Strap replacement requires minimal tools: a spring bar tool with fine metal prongs for removing pins, or a simple watchmaker's pin. Position the watch with the lug sides visible, locate the small holes on the case attachments where the pin runs, gently push the pin downward with the provided tool until it is completely extracted. The old strap will then slide off freely. Insert the new strap by aligning the holes to the 14mm lug width and reinsert the pin from the opposite side until it clicks into place. If you prefer to avoid DIY, the Casati Milano atelier offers the strap change service included in the warranty.

Any strap specifically cut to 14mm is compatible with the Longines Equestrian L6.137.0.73.2, regardless of material or manufacturer. Compatibility depends solely on lug width, not on the watch brand. Milano Straps offers straps in alligator, calf leather, fish skin, NATO and rubber, all available in 14mm width. Always verify on the product sheet that the measurement corresponds exactly to 14mm to avoid incompatibility.

The lifespan of a leather strap varies depending on the material, frequency of use and environmental conditions. A quality artisanal alligator or calf leather, used daily, maintains functionality for 3 to 5 years, though the surface patina evolves continuously. Exposure to sunlight, water and perspiration accelerates ageing. Milano Straps straps are made with premium leather and vegetable tanning, ensuring greater longevity. Casati Milano provides an 18-month warranty and offers restoration services to extend the life of the original strap.
