Strap for Weems Second-Setting Watch Pink Gold Roman

The Longines Heritage L2.713.8.11.0 features a lug width of 25mm. This measurement is specific to the model and must be measured between the two spring bar attachments on the case. A strap of different width (24mm or 26mm) will not fit correctly and will cause play or forced fitting.

For the Longines Heritage L2.713.8.11.0, genuine alligator leather is the most aesthetically and constructively appropriate choice. Calf leather is an excellent more accessible alternative. Shell cordovan offers natural patina development over time, whilst NATO fabric permits a sportier interpretation of the model. All materials must be in 25mm width.

To change the strap, use a specialised tool called a spring bar tool. Insert the tip into the lateral slot of the upper lug to release the internal spring, then extract the spring bar. Repeat for the lower lug. Insert the new strap, aligning it perfectly to the 25mm width, and push until the spring clicks into place.

Yes, the Longines Heritage L2.713.8.11.0 accepts high-quality aftermarket straps in 25mm width. Milano Straps offers a curated selection of artisanal straps in alligator, calf, shell cordovan and fabrics, all calibrated for this measurement and customisable in length, thread colour and finishes.

The lifespan of a leather strap depends on material, usage and maintenance. A quality alligator or calf strap can last 3-5 years with daily wear, up to 7-10 years with occasional use. Vegetable-tanned leather, used by Milano Straps, develops natural patina and improves over time with proper care. Periodic cleaning and UV protection significantly extend useful life.
