Frequently asked questions

What is the lug width of the Longines Lyre L4.359.4.12.2?

The lug width of the Longines Lyre L4.359.4.12.2 is 16mm. This dimension is standard for this model and requires a specific strap selection. To verify, measure with a calliper the internal distance between the two lugs: the value must be exactly 16mm.

What is the best strap for the Longines Lyre?

For the Longines Lyre, we recommend a superior quality alligator or vegetable-tanned calf leather, which amplify the understated elegance of the timepiece. If you prefer versatility, a heavyweight canvas NATO strap ensures practicality without aesthetic compromise. The choice depends on use: formal, business, or refined casual.

How do I change the strap on my Longines Lyre?

To replace the strap, use a spring bar tool. Insert the tip into the slot of the lug, compress slightly to release the spring, and extract the bar. Repeat on the other side. Insert the new strap by aligning the attachments to the slots, then press until you feel the spring click. Verify that the bar is fully inserted.

Can I use an aftermarket strap on my Longines Lyre?

Yes, any strap with a 16mm lug width is compatible with the Longines Lyre L4.359.4.12.2. Custom handcrafted straps offer superior construction quality and materials compared to factory products. Milano Straps provides straps in alligator, calf, NATO, and rubber, all shaped and stitched to size for your watch.

How long does a leather strap last on the Longines Lyre?

A high-quality leather strap, such as alligator or vegetable-tanned calf, typically lasts 3-5 years with moderate wear and regular maintenance. Longevity depends on wearing frequency, sun exposure, and humidity. A handcrafted strap like those from Milano Straps, made with premium leathers, often exceeds 5 years. Maintenance includes occasional cleaning and conditioning with leather-specific products.
