Strap for La Grande Classique Quartz 24 Rose / MOP

This model features a 13mm lug width, a non-standard dimension requiring specialised straps. Longines engineered this width to maintain perfect proportions with the ultra-thin 24mm case. To verify, remove the current strap and measure the internal distance between the case terminals.

We recommend an alligator strap with fine grain (French tanning) that reflects the model's sober elegance. Vintage calf leather is excellent for those seeking aesthetic evolution over time. A vegetable-tanned strap ensures authentic ageing and chromatic development. For daily practicality, NATO canvas or certified rubber maintains the slim profile and offers versatility.

The strap is removed by extracting the spring bars that connect it to the case. Use a dedicated tool or small flat-head screwdriver to apply gentle pressure on the bars and slide them out of the lugs. Work carefully to avoid scratching the case. Fitting the new strap follows the reverse process. If uncertain, our artisans can perform the change in Milan.

Yes, provided the strap is manufactured with spring bars compatible with the 13mm lug width. Our handcrafted straps on milanostraps.it are built specifically for this dimension. We recommend verifying that the strap terminals fit perfectly into the case lugs, as incorrect tolerance can cause unwanted movement or damage.

Durability depends on the material and daily use. Quality alligator or calf leather with vegetable tanning can last 3-5 years in normal conditions, developing beautiful patina over time. Natural ageing is part of the charm. A NATO canvas strap can last 5-7 years. Certified rubber resists 2-3 years. Casati Milano atelier provides 18-month warranty on all bespoke straps and offers maintenance and spring bar replacement services.
