Strap for Equestrian Horseshoe 30 Arabic

The lug width of the Longines Equestrian L6.137.4.73.2 is 14mm. This measurement represents the distance between the lugs that connect the strap to the case and is essential for selecting a compatible strap. A measurement error would result in mounting difficulties: straps wider than 14mm would leave gaps, whilst narrower straps would not fit the lugs properly. Before ordering, measure with a calliper positioned perpendicularly to the lugs on the case.

The choice depends on usage and aesthetic preferences. Alligator is the solution of aesthetic excellence: its natural grain dialogue magnificently with the satin-finished steel case. Shell cordovan is ideal for those who appreciate a patina that evolves over time, acquiring chromatic depth. A strap in grained calf leather with vegetable tanning represents a balanced compromise between robustness and elegance, with the ability to age nobly. For more casual or sporty contexts, a NATO in neutral tones maintains functionality and compatibility without stylistic compromise.

To change the strap, position the watch face-down on a soft surface. Use a spring bar removal tool to access the pins that fix the strap to the case. Insert the tool into the slot on the pin and apply gentle upward pressure to compress the internal spring, then extract the pin. Repeat on the other side. To install the new strap, reinsert the pins in the opposite direction, ensuring they enter the case holes correctly. If you are unsure, consult a professional: Casati Milano offers strap-changing services by appointment.

A natural leather strap, if subjected to regular maintenance and reasonable use, lasts on average between 3 and 7 years. Durability depends on frequency of use, exposure to humidity, and the quality of the leather itself. Alligator and shell cordovan, if cared for properly, tend to last longer than more common leathers, thanks to fibre density. Proper drying after humidity exposure, avoiding prolonged water contact, and occasional application of natural wax significantly extend useful life. Milano Straps provides quality straps with above-average durability expectations, and Casati Milano offers an 18-month guarantee on all bespoke work.
