Strap for La Grande Classique Quartz 24 Red Gold / Pink - Diamond / Bracelet

The lug width of the Longines L4.209.1.90.8 is 13mm. This measurement is specific to this compact model and is essential when purchasing a compatible strap. To verify, measure with a digital calliper the internal distance between the centres of the lug holes on the case.

For the L4.209.1.90.8, we recommend alligator leather with medium grain and natural patina, or calf leather with vegetable tanning. Both maintain the essential profile of the case and develop a patina over time that harmonises with the steel. A NATO or rubber strap are valid alternatives for sports contexts, always maintaining awareness of thickness.

Remove the spring bars (elastic pins) using a dedicated strap removal tool, gently pushing towards the case body. Insert the new strap by aligning the holes with the pins, then reinsert the spring bars. To avoid damage to the case, always use a professional tool and proceed with care.

Yes, absolutely. Many specialised artisans create bespoke straps for 13mm lugs. Milano Straps offers customisable straps online ready for dispatch, or you can request a bespoke creation at the Casati Milano atelier with personalised WhatsApp consultation.

A quality leather strap (alligator or vegetable-tanned calf) typically lasts 3-5 years with daily wear, depending on frequency and climatic conditions. Prolonged water exposure shortens lifespan. Straps made by quality artisans usually include an 18-month warranty against manufacturing defects.
