Frequently asked questions

What is the lug width of the Longines Lyre L4.259.2.11.8?

The Longines Lyre L4.259.2.11.8 features a lug width of 13 millimetres. This measurement is specific to the 25mm case model and does not correspond to standard industrial widths (12mm, 14mm, 16mm). To verify strap compatibility, use a digital calliper to measure the distance between the case lugs with precision to one decimal place.

Which strap is most suitable for the Longines Lyre L4.259.2.11.8?

A dark brown alligator strap represents the most refined choice, as the leather's regular grain provides elegant contrast with the case's polished stainless steel. Alternatively, vegetable-tanned calf offers a patina that develops naturally over time. For daily versatility, technically-finished rubber in neutral tones (anthracite, navy blue) combines elegance with resilience.

How do you change the strap on the Longines Lyre L4.259.2.11.8?

The strap is secured by two metal pins (spring bars) connecting the case to the lug wings. Use a dedicated bar removal tool to compress the pins slightly and slide the old strap out of its seating. Insert the new 13mm strap by aligning the lateral apertures with the pins, then release the tool. Verify the strap is firmly secured before wearing the watch.

What aftermarket strap is compatible with the Longines Lyre L4.259.2.11.8?

All straps with a 13-millimetre lug width are compatible with the Lyre L4.259.2.11.8. On milanostraps.it you will find a dedicated collection of 13mm straps, handcrafted from premium leather (alligator, calf, shell cordovan) and technical rubber. Each strap is customisable in length, initials and stitching thread.

What is the lifespan of a leather strap on the Longines Lyre L4.259.2.11.8?

The durability of a leather strap depends on frequency of use, humidity exposure and applied care. A quality alligator or calf strap, used daily, has an average lifespan of 3-5 years. Vegetable-tanned leather tends to last longer owing to natural tannins. Straps crafted by Casati Milano include an 18-month warranty and are repairable at the atelier to extend functional life.
