Strap for Lyre Quartz 38.5mm PVD Gold / White

The lug width of the Longines Lyre L4.859.2.12.2 is 20 mm. This measurement is taken from the inner shoulder of one lug to the inner shoulder of the opposite lug, excluding the case body. Precise measurement is essential to ensure strap compatibility.

For the Longines Lyre L4.859.2.12.2, straps in natural alligator (brown or black), vegetable-tanned calf leather, or shell cordovan are recommended. Alligator amplifies the sophistication of the tonneau case, while vegetable-tanned calf offers versatility and daily practicality. For a sport-elegant approach, ballistic canvas with a stainless steel deployante creates contemporary balance.

The strap is changed using a lug pin remover tool to slide out the pin that secures the strap to the case lugs. Place the watch on a soft surface, insert the pin remover from below, gently push to release the pin, and remove the strap. The operation requires care to avoid scratching the case.

All straps with a 20 mm lug width are compatible with the Longines Lyre L4.859.2.12.2, provided the ends are tapered and well-defined to fit the case lugs that curve inward. At milanostraps.it, you will find a selection of 20mm straps in various materials: alligator, calf, shell cordovan, canvas, and natural rubber.

A superior-quality leather strap (alligator, calf, or cordovan) lasts 3–5 years with moderate daily use, developing a natural patina over time. Longevity depends on frequency of use, humidity exposure, and maintenance. Rotating multiple straps extends the life of each. Casati Milano offers an 18-month warranty on bespoke straps.
