Strap for Equestrian Horseshoe 34 Diamond / White

The lug width of the Longines Equestrian L6.138.0.73.2 is 16 mm. This measurement is critical for strap compatibility: it must be matched precisely to ensure proper installation through the spring bars without leaving unwanted lateral gaps or compromising the visual proportions of the 34 mm case.

For the Longines Equestrian L6.138.0.73.2, alligator leather with vegetable tanning represents the ideal choice due to its regular texture that highlights the sober elegance of the stainless steel case. Alternatively, shell cordovan offers superior density and patina development, whilst premium calf provides immediate softness. For sports-oriented wear, a cotton-reinforced NATO maintains the collection's aesthetic rigour.

To change the strap, remove the spring bars securing the strap to the case lugs. Using a dedicated spring bar tool, apply gentle pressure to one spring bar to release the internal spring, allowing the bar to slide free. Once one lug is cleared, repeat on the opposite side. The new 16 mm strap installs using the same procedure, ensuring both spring bars are fully seated in their respective holes.

Yes, any aftermarket strap with a 16 mm lug width is compatible with the Longines L6.138.0.73.2, regardless of manufacturer. Always verify the lug width before purchase. Straps measuring 14 mm or 18 mm will not fit correctly. At milanostraps.it you will find a curated selection of 16 mm straps customisable in leather type, colour and stitching details.

Strap longevity depends on the leather type and usage intensity. Alligator or shell cordovan with vegetable tanning, with proper care, lasts 3–5 years of daily wear before replacement is necessary. Premium calf withstands 2–3 years under identical conditions. Cotton NATO fabric endures 1–2 years. Regular maintenance—including drying after humidity exposure and quarterly conditioning—significantly extends the useful life of any strap.
