Strap for Heritage L990 39mm

The lug width of the Longines Heritage L2.719.8.12.2 is 20 millimetres. This specification determines the compatibility of aftermarket straps and should be measured between the inner lugs of the case, perpendicular to the watch plane. Precise measurement is essential to ensure correct and secure installation.

For the Longines Heritage L2.719.8.12.2 in pink gold, a dark brown alligator strap represents the most refined choice, creating harmony with the warm tone of the case. Sophisticated alternatives include vegetable-tanned calf in cognac tones or shell cordovan in deep burgundy. For contemporary versatility, high-quality rubber is also compatible and practical.

The strap is replaced using a spring bar tool. Position the tool's tip under the suspension pin, apply gentle pressure to compress the internal spring, and slide the pin out of its housing. Repeat for the second pin, then insert the new strap, aligning it correctly in the case lugs and repositioning the pins securely.

Any strap with a 20-millimetre lug width is compatible with the Longines Heritage L2.719.8.12.2. Online you will find a selection of customisable straps in premium materials: alligator, calf, shell cordovan, and rubber. Choose the material and colour that best complement the pink gold tone of your case.

The lifespan of a leather strap depends on material quality and usage. With vegetable-tanned and high-quality alligator leather, longevity reaches 5–7 years in daily wear, developing a natural patina that enriches the aesthetic. With proper care (avoiding prolonged moisture and storing in a dry environment), the lifespan can extend further. The Casati Milano atelier guarantees 18 months on artisanal construction.
