Strap for Lyre Quartz 32 Yellow Gold PVD / White / Strap

The Longines Lyre L4.359.2.11.2 features a 16-millimetre lug width, an uncommon non-standard dimension that requires bespoke strap fabrication or specialist suppliers. It is not compatible with universal 18mm, 20mm, or 22mm straps.

For this elegant dress watch, an alligator leather strap in black or brown with refined stitching is optimal. Alternatively, shell cordovan in deep burgundy or vegetable-tanned calf in cognac complement the vintage aesthetic whilst maintaining visual proportion with the 32mm case diameter.

Use a spring bar tool to extract the lug pins from the case. Place the watch on a soft surface and insert the tool tip into the pin slot, lifting gently to release the old strap. Align the new strap holes with the pins and press until both lugs click into place. Verify secure engagement before wearing.

Yes. Milano Straps specialises in 16mm straps, both ready-to-wear and bespoke commissions via the Casati Milano atelier. Materials include alligator, calf, shell cordovan, and rubber, with personalised length, monogramming, and thread colour options.

A quality leather strap—alligatore, shell cordovan, or vegetable-tanned calf—typically lasts 3–5 years under daily wear, depending on climate, humidity, and usage frequency. Vegetable-tanned and cordovan leathers develop richer patina over time. Casati Milano bespoke pieces include an 18-month manufacturing guarantee.
