Strap for Lyre 35 Automatic Stainless Steel

The lug width of the Longines Lyre L4.860.4.11.6 is 18 millimetres. This measurement is a construction standard for high-quality Swiss ladies' watches and ensures compatibility with a wide range of artisanal straps. To verify compatibility, measure the distance between the internal lug attachments with a digital calliper.

For the Lyre L4.860.4.11.6 we recommend straps in alligator (Mississippi grain), shell cordovan for progressive patina, or vegetable-tanned calf leather. Alligator creates dynamic contrast with the stainless steel case; cordovan develops a golden patina that enhances the model's classical elegance. Vegetable-tanned calf offers initial softness and natural ageing over time.

Strap replacement is accomplished through the lug passages. Remove the previous strap by gently extracting the spring bars from the lugs; insert the new strap by aligning it with the lugs and verify it is firmly positioned. If the strap is fitted with a deployant clasp, ensure the locking mechanism is fully engaged before wearing the watch.

Any aftermarket strap with an 18 mm lug width is compatible with the L4.860.4.11.6. Milanostraps.it offers a complete collection of 18mm straps in alligator, calf leather, shell cordovan, NATO and rubber, all handcrafted and customisable in length, initials and stitching thread.

A quality leather strap (alligator, cordovan, vegetable-tanned calf) lasts 3-5 years of daily wear, developing a natural patina that enhances its character. Durability depends on frequency of use, climatic conditions and maintenance. Casati Milano offers an 18-month warranty on all handcrafted straps, with restoration and customisation options available.
