Strap for BelleArti 16 Stainless Steel White

The Longines Heritage L2.195.4.73.4 features a lug width of 10mm, measured between the two case lugs. This dimension is specific to compact feminine timepieces and is determined by the case geometry, which measures 15.90mm in diameter.

For this heritage model, we recommend satin-finished alligator (formal elegance), shell cordovan with vegetable tanning (evolving patina over time), or fine-grained calf leather (versatility and practicality). Your choice depends on usage context: daily wear or special occasions. All these materials at 10mm width enhance the diminutive case proportions.

Strap replacement requires a small, precise tool (spring bar tool). Insert the tool into the small slot of the lug to compress the internal spring, then extract the bar. Repeat on the opposite side. Insert the new strap by aligning the lug to the case hole and release the spring. For such compact watches, professional assistance is recommended.

Yes, Milano Straps offers bespoke leather straps specifically crafted for the 10mm lug width. Available online in various leather finishes (alligator, shell cordovan, calf), customisable in colour and size to fit your wrist. All straps are compatible with the original case lugs.

Leather strap durability depends on material type and usage patterns. Fine-grained calf typically lasts 3–5 years with daily wear. Alligator and vegetable-tanned shell cordovan may last 7–10 years, developing a beautiful patina. Milano Straps provides an 18-month warranty from delivery date.
