Strap for Evidenza 26 Automatic Stainless Steel / Silver / Bracelet

The lug width of the Longines Evidenza L2.142.4.70.6 is 14mm. This measurement refers to the distance between the inner walls of the lugs and is critical for strap compatibility. To verify, use a digital calliper positioned perpendicularly on the inner face of the lug, excluding any ornamental protrusions.

For this collection, we recommend alligator in dark shades (noir, dark brown) to maximise contrast with the tonneau case, or vegetable-tanned calf leather in naturally tanned tonalities for noble ageing. Shell cordovan is ideal for those seeking mirror-like lustre, whilst fabric NATO maintains daily practicality whilst preserving the dress watch's dignity.

Strap replacement is achieved by unscrewing the spring bar (removable lug) connecting the strap to the case lugs. Position the watch with the case facing downwards, locate the small hole on the upper lug, insert the supplied star screwdriver and rotate anticlockwise. Remove the spring bar, take off the old strap and apply the new one following the reverse procedure. Avoid excessive rotation, which could damage the threading.

Yes, any strap with a 14mm lug width is compatible with your model. Milano Straps offers a specific collection of artisanal 14mm straps, customisable in leather, length, colour and stitching details. Construction quality guarantees a fit without play or oscillation.

An artisanal leather strap of quality, subjected to ordinary wear, has a lifespan of 3-5 years before replacement is required. This durability depends on frequency of use, ambient humidity, maintenance care and leather type. Alligator and shell cordovan age by developing patina, whilst vegetable-tanned calf occasionally requires protective treatments. Casati Milano's 18-month warranty covers manufacturing defects.
