Strap for BelleArti 19 Quartz Stainless Steel Diamond MOP

The lug width of the Longines Heritage L2.194.0.93.6 is 12mm. This is a measurement below contemporary standards and must be assessed with precision: position a calliper between the two lugs of the case, in parallel alignment. Do not confuse with the lug hole width, which will always be narrower.

Alligator represents the most historically and aesthetically coherent choice, with fine grain that mirrors case finishing. Shell cordovan offers an extremely smooth, light-reflective surface. Vegetable-tanned calf leather guarantees progressive patina development over time. Sports rubber straps are appropriate for informal contexts.

Strap replacement occurs via extraction of spring bars. Position the watch on soft fabric with case facing upwards. Use an appropriate tool (spring bar tool) to compress the steel bar slightly and withdraw it. Insert the new strap by aligning the holes with the bars, then reinsert the latter until full engagement. This operation requires care; Casati Milano atelier can provide technical support.

A high-quality natural leather strap, with proper maintenance, has a lifespan of 3-5 years with daily wear. Durability depends on the tanning method (vegetable-tanned ages better than chrome-tanned), frequency of wear and exposure to atmospheric conditions. Alligator and shell cordovan resist longer than ordinary calf leather. Casati Milano provides 18-month warranty on all personalised straps.
