Strap for Evidenza 26 Automatic Pink Gold Diamond

The lug width of the Longines Evidenza L2.142.9.73.2 is 14 mm. This measurement refers to the external distance between the attachment lugs of the case. It is essential to measure this dimension accurately before ordering an aftermarket strap, as an incompatible width will create play or fail to fit into the attachment slots.

For the Evidenza L2.142.9.73.2, an alligator strap is the most coherent choice: its natural geometric grain dialogues perfectly with the tonneau geometry of the case. Dark brown or burgundy tones amplify the tone of the rose gold. Alternatively, vegetable-tanned calf offers a more minimalist profile, whilst woven NATO straps provide practicality and versatility.

Changing the strap on the Longines Evidenza L2.142.9.73.2 is performed using the spring bars. Position the watch face-down on a soft surface. Locate the release button of each spring bar (typically a pressing rod). Gently press it with a specialized tool (spring bar tool) to extract the bar from its slot, then remove the old strap and insert the new one. This process requires care to avoid scratching the lugs.

Milano Straps offers a complete collection of leather, fabric and rubber straps, customizable in length, initials and stitch type, available for immediate shipment or handcrafted at the Casati Milano atelier.

Durability depends on the material and usage. An alligator strap with vegetable tanning, subjected to moderate use and regular maintenance (cleaning with a soft cloth, protection from excessive moisture), lasts an average of 4–6 years. European calf lasts 3–4 years. The ageing of leather develops a patina and natural colour changes that are part of the charm of the piece. Rubber and fabric straps have similar lifespans but require different maintenance.
