Frequently asked questions
What is the lug width of the Longines Lyre L4.360.2.12.2?
The Longines Lyre L4.360.2.12.2 features a lug width of 13mm. This measurement is specific to the model and critical for maintaining the harmonious proportions of the 25mm tonneau case. To verify, measure with a ruler the distance between the centres of the lugs that anchor the strap to the watch case.
Which strap is most suitable for the Longines Lyre L4.360.2.12.2?
High-quality alligator remains the natural choice for the Lyre: its regular granular texture creates elegant contrast with the stainless steel tonneau case. Alternatively, vegetable-tanned calf leather offers a character-rich patina that develops over time, while canvas NATO straps represent a more conscious contemporary option for those seeking sportive elegance without compromising sophistication.
How do I change the strap on the Longines Lyre L4.360.2.12.2?
Position the watch face-down on a soft, protected surface. Use a spring bar tool (professional tool for removing spring bars) to push inward the small pin holding the strap in place. Once the pin retracts, remove the old strap. Insert the new strap, aligning the holes with the watch lugs, then reinsert the pin until it clicks. If you prefer to avoid risk, entrust the task to Casati Milano atelier.

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