Strap for Lyre 25 Automatic PVD Gold / White / Bracelet

The lug width of the Longines Lyre L4.360.2.12.7 is precisely 13mm. This dimension is fixed and non-negotiable: the case lugs are machined to accommodate only straps of this exact width. Always verify the measurement before purchase using a digital calliper.

For the Lyre L4.360.2.12.7, straps in alligator or vegetable-tanned calf leather are recommended, in shades of black, chocolate, or burgundy. These materials enhance the discreet elegance of the model whilst maintaining aesthetic balance. Alternatively, aniline calf box or cognac shell cordovan offer comfort and natural patina development over time.

Strap replacement is accomplished via removable spring bars (lug bars). Using a dedicated tool or small screwdriver, remove the spring bar from the first lug, slide off the old strap, and insert the new one. Ensure the strap has the correct lug width (13mm) and that the spring bars are securely fastened to prevent accidental loss.

Yes, provided the strap is specifically designed for 13mm lug width. Artisanal straps from specialist manufacturers offer superior quality compared to generic alternatives. Always verify lug compatibility and confirm the strap is constructed using premium stitching methods and high-quality leather.

Durability depends on material and usage patterns. An artisanal alligator or shell cordovan strap lasts 5-10 years with regular maintenance. An aniline calf resists 3-5 years of wear. Longevity increases with proper storage, protection from excessive moisture, and periodic cleaning. Casati Milano straps include an 18-month warranty.
