Strap for La Grande Classique Quartz 24 Monochrome Stick

The Longines La Grande Classique L4.209.4.72.6 features a lug width of 13mm. This measurement is specific to the 24mm case model and ensures the ideal proportional balance between the compact case and the strap, avoiding both undersizing and aesthetic imbalance.

Alligator represents the most appropriate choice: its regular geometric texture emphasises the minimalist sobriety of the timepiece, and the patina it develops over time ennobles the watch without compromising its integrity. Vegetable-tanned calf leather is a versatile alternative for daily wear, soft and perfectly coherent with Swiss heritage.

The strap is replaced by acting on the spring bars that secure it to the case. Using a dedicated strap removal tool, gently push the bar inward to disengage it from the hole, then withdraw the strap. Reverse the procedure with the new 13mm strap, ensuring both bars are perfectly seated in their attachment points.

Yes, any strap with a 13mm lug width is compatible. High-quality artisanal straps allow you to completely customise the watch's aesthetics: by selecting leather, colour, thickness and buckle or deployant type, you can transform the timepiece without altering its functionality or value.

An artisanal-quality alligator or calf leather strap lasts 3 to 5 years with daily use, if properly maintained. The 13mm lug width, being compact, reduces mechanical stress on leather fibres, promoting longevity superior to models with wider attachments. The patina that develops is part of the material's natural beauty.
