Strap for Prestige Gold 23

The lug width of the Longines L4.223.7.87.6 is 16mm. This dimension is determined by the compact geometry of the 23mm diameter case. It is important to verify the measurement before ordering a strap, by inserting a calliper into the lug slots (from inner wall to inner wall).

The ideal strap depends on use. For formal occasions, we recommend alligator in black or dark brown, which contrasts perfectly with white gold. For daily wear, vegetable-tanned calf leather in cognac or navy blue tones offers comfort and versatility. In summer, a vulcanised rubber strap protects the case from moisture.

The strap is changed using a dedicated tool (spring bar removal tool) to extract the pins that secure it to the lugs. Position the tool under the pin, lift gently and the pin will retract. Then insert the new strap by aligning the holes with the lugs and press until you hear a click.

Yes, any strap with a 16mm lug width is compatible. On milanostraps.it you will find a selection of artisanal 16mm straps made from premium leathers and customisable. Always verify the correct measurement before purchase.

A quality leather strap, made from alligator or vegetable-tanned calf, typically lasts 3-5 years with regular use. Durability depends on frequency of use, sun exposure and humidity. Casati Milano straps include an 18-month warranty and can be refurbished or replaced.
