Strap for Lyre 25 Quartz Yellow

The Longines Lyre L4.259.2.12.8 features a 13mm lug width, a non-standard dimension requiring specifically manufactured straps. This design choice ensures correct visual proportions on a 25mm case, avoiding disproportionality from wider or narrower standard straps.

Alligator represents the most elegant choice: its regular texture and uniform grain naturally complement the dress watch character. Vegetable-tanned calf leather offers contemporary appeal with a patina developing over time. For daily use, rubber with fine texture provides moisture resistance whilst maintaining aesthetic sobriety.

Remove the old strap by sliding it out from the lateral lugs (the two metal hooks on the case). Verify the new strap has a 13mm lug width for correct fit. Insert the lugs into the new strap until they click into place. If equipped with a deployant clasp, ensure it is adjusted to your wrist size.

Yes, provided the strap is specifically manufactured for 13mm lug width. Standard 12mm or 14mm straps would result in loose fit and visually incorrect appearance. Milanostraps.it offers compatible straps in various leathers (alligator, calf, rubber) customisable for your model.

A quality artisanal leather strap (alligator or calf) lasts 3-5 years with moderate use, extendable to 7-10 years with regular maintenance: quick drying after moisture exposure, avoiding direct heat, periodic conditioning. Rubber or NATO fabric straps offer greater wear resistance and require minimal maintenance.
