Strap for Evidenza 26 Automatic Pink Gold

The lug width (ansa width) of the Longines Evidenza L2.142.8.73.6 is 14mm. This measurement refers to the distance between the two suspension pins on the case sides and represents the exact specification for installing compatible straps. It is essential to verify this dimension before purchasing an aftermarket strap to avoid mechanical incompatibility.

The most suitable strap is alligator in warm tones (cognac, dark brown, burgundy), as the regular texture and natural brilliance reflect the sophistication of the rose gold case. Alternatively, vegetable-tanned calf leather offers softness and natural patina development over time, whilst structured NATO fabric provides sporty versatility whilst maintaining formal elegance.

Changing the strap requires a specific tool (spring bar tool) to compress the suspension pins and extract them from the case lugs. We recommend placing the watch on a soft surface (microfibre cloth) and proceeding with care to avoid scratching the rose gold case. When in doubt, entrust the procedure to a specialist workshop: Casati Milano offers free phone consultation for guidance.

Yes, quality aftermarket straps are fully compatible provided they feature the exact 14mm lug width. Milano Straps supplies tested straps for this model, customizable in sizing, initials and thread colour. We always recommend verifying the technical specification before purchase and choosing suppliers with certified compatibility guarantee.

A quality leather strap (alligator, vegetable-tanned calf) has an average lifespan of 3-5 years with daily use, depending on care and exposure to external agents (humidity, sunlight, perspiration). Vegetable-tanned leather develops natural patina over time, improving aesthetically. Casati Milano straps carry an 18-month warranty; for greater longevity, periodic maintenance and seasonal rotation between spare straps is recommended.
