Strap for Evidenza 26 Quartz Pink Gold Diamonds

The lug width of the Longines Evidenza L2.155.9.71.6 is 14mm. This measurement represents the internal distance between the case lugs where straps are attached. It is essential to verify this specification before purchasing any aftermarket strap to ensure compatibility and correct aesthetic proportions.

For this Art Déco model in rose gold, alligator represents the most aesthetically coherent choice: the fine natural texture dialogues perfectly with the case geometry and guilloché dial. Recommended colours are deep black, cognac, or dark brown. Alternatively, shell cordovan with vegetable tanning offers a patina that improves over time, whilst vegetable-tanned calf in black or blue maintains elegance and everyday versatility.

Changing the Evidenza's strap requires a specific tool: a spring bar removal tool. Insert the tool vertically at the base of the spring, apply gentle pressure to release the lug shoulder, then extract the old strap. Position the new strap onto the case pins and verify that the springs snap correctly on both sides. It is advisable to entrust this operation to a professional if you lack experience, to avoid damage to the case lugs.

Yes, the Evidenza L2.155.9.71.6 is fully compatible with any artisanal 14mm strap. Aftermarket straps in alligator, shell cordovan, calf or rubber feature the same standard spring bars and guarantee the same security as an original strap. Verify only that thickness does not exceed 4mm to ensure perfect fit within the case lugs.

The lifespan of a leather strap depends on leather quality, frequency of use, and climatic conditions. A high-quality alligator or shell cordovan strap, if subjected to ordinary maintenance (drying after humidity, protection from direct sunlight), lasts an average of 5-7 years before showing significant signs of wear. Medium-quality calf lasts 3-4 years. The buckle and keeper wear out before the leather itself if used daily.
