Frequently asked questions
What is the lug width of the Longines La Grande Classique L4.709.1.11.2?
The lug width of the Longines L4.709.1.11.2 is 18mm. This measurement is taken from shoulder to shoulder on the inside of the lugs. Precision verification is essential before purchasing an aftermarket strap to ensure mechanical and aesthetic compatibility.
Which strap do you recommend for the Longines La Grande Classique L4.709.1.11.2?
For the L4.709.1.11.2, we recommend ebony alligator or vegetable-tanned calf leather in stone grey. Both honour the watch's classical identity. For informal daily wear, bordeaux shell cordovan or dark grey vulcanised rubber offer practicality without stylistic compromise.
How do I change the strap on the Longines La Grande Classique?
The Longines L4.709.1.11.2 uses standard 18mm spring bars. Use a spring bar remover to gently lift the bars from the lug holes. Insert the bar into the new strap, aligning it on the internal shoulders, then reposition the spring. The operation takes approximately two minutes per side. Casati Milano offers replacement services with personalised consultation.
