Strap for Evidenza 26 Quartz Diamond

The lug width of the Longines Evidenza L2.155.0.71.5 is 14 millimetres. This measurement is specific to the Evidenza model and represents the internal distance between the two lugs of the case. Always ensure that your chosen strap is compatible with this exact measurement to guarantee correct and secure fitting.

For this feminine 26mm model, alligator is the most refined choice, thanks to its regular scales that perfectly complement the polished case finish. Vegetable-tanned calf leather is ideal if you wish for a strap that develops patina over time. Classic calf leather in brown or black tones offers versatility for daily wear whilst maintaining the sartorial elegance demanded by this timepiece.

To change the strap, you will need a specialised spring bar removal tool. Position the watch with the case facing upwards, locate the two lugs, then insert the tool into one of the small side holes to compress the spring bar and release it. Repeat on the other side. Subsequently, insert the new strap's spring bars into the holes, compressing them slightly until they lock in place. If unfamiliar with the procedure, entrust the task to a qualified watchmaker.

No. The 14mm lug width is specific to the Evidenza model and is not compatible with other watches using different standards such as 16mm, 18mm or others. A 14mm strap will fit exclusively watches with a lug width of exactly 14 millimetres. Always verify your watch's lug width before purchasing aftermarket straps.

The lifespan of a leather strap depends on factors such as material quality, frequency of use, and exposure to UV rays and humidity. A quality alligator or calf leather strap, with moderate use, has a useful life of 3-5 years. A vegetable-tanned calf strap can last longer if properly maintained, developing a protective patina over time. With intensive daily wear, durability reduces to 2-3 years. Proper maintenance and selection from artisanal suppliers such as Casati Milano ensures longevity and repairability.
