Strap for Lyre 35 Quartz Yellow

The lug width of the Longines Lyre L4.759.2.12.7 is 18 mm, measured between the centres of the two spring bars. This dimension is specific to this model and corresponds to the ideal proportion for the 35 mm case. All aftermarket straps must be verified for compatibility with this exact measurement.

For the Lyre L4.759.2.12.7, we recommend alligator in black or dark blue for a formal dress-watch aesthetic, or vegetable-tanned calf leather in cognac tones for versatility with a patina that improves with age. Shell cordovan offers natural lustre and superior durability. All these materials, crafted artisanally, will enhance the classical proportions of this timepiece.

To change the strap on your Lyre L4.759.2.12.7, use a spring bar tool to gently remove the two spring bars from the case. Position the tool in the small slot beneath the lug and press upward until the spring bar disengages. Repeat for the second spring bar. Align the new 18 mm strap, then remount the spring bars. Alternatively, Casati Milano offers professional installation by appointment.

The lifespan of a leather strap depends on material, tannage, and usage. Quality alligator or calf leather, under normal conditions (moderate daily wear), lasts between 2 and 4 years. Shell cordovan, due to its superior density, can exceed 5 years. Vegetable-tanned leather develops a patina that improves over time but requires more maintenance. Artisanal straps from Casati Milano include 18-month warranty and can be regenerated or replaced with new matching leathers.
