Strap for Evidenza 30.5 Chronograph

The lug width is 16 mm, an exception in the Longines catalogue that reflects the stylistic desire to maintain elegant and refined proportions on the tonneau case. To verify the lug width, insert a digital calliper between the lugs in the strap attachment area.

It depends on use and aesthetic preferences. Black or dark brown alligator emphasises cocktail elegance; vegetable-tanned leather offers evolving patina over time; silk NATO ensures versatility; FKM rubber is ideal for summer. Your choice should resonate with the dial colour of your specimen.

Use a spring bar tool to gently remove the pins connecting the strap to the lugs. Insert the tool into the case slot, lift the pin and slide it out. The new 16mm strap inserts into the opposite seat. If inexperienced, entrust the task to a professional watchmaker or Casati Milano atelier.

Yes, provided the lug width is exactly 16 mm. Milano Straps offers a collection of straps compatible with this width, customisable in leather, colour, initials and thread colour. Always verify compatibility before purchase to avoid misalignment.

Durability depends on use and care. A well-maintained alligator or leather strap lasts 3-5 years under normal conditions. Constant exposure to water or sweat shortens useful life. Milano Straps guarantees 18 months on Casati Milano bespoke straps, with possibility of repair and restoration.
