Strap for Lyre 38.5 Automatic PVD Gold / White - Roman / Bracelet

The lug width of the Longines Lyre L4.960.2.11.7 is 20 mm. This measurement represents the distance between the two lug holes and is the fundamental parameter for strap compatibility. All straps in the 20mm collection at milanostraps.it are compatible with this reference.

For the Lyre, we recommend elegant leather straps: alligator with fine grain for formal occasions, vegetable-tanned calf for everyday wear, or shell cordovan for versatility. A black rubber strap is ideal for smart-casual contexts. Your choice depends on use: formal, casual, or mixed.

Strap changing is straightforward: position the watch with the caseback facing upward. Locate the bayonet springs on the rear of the lugs. Push gently towards the centre to release the spring and extract the old strap end from the hole. Repeat on the other side. Insert the new strap, ensuring the spring clicks into position. If uncertain, a professional watchmaker can assist you.

Yes, any strap with a 20mm lug width is compatible with the Longines Lyre L4.960.2.11.7, provided it is of quality. Straps from milanostraps.it are crafted from premium leathers (alligator, calf, cordovan) and guarantee durability and aesthetics. Customisation in sizing, initials, and thread colour ensures perfect integration with your watch.

The lifespan of a leather strap varies based on usage and craftsmanship quality. On average, a quality artisanal strap lasts 3-5 years with moderate use. Straps from milanostraps.it, made from premium leathers and hand-stitched, develop natural patina over time, improving aesthetic appeal. With proper care—avoiding water immersion, protecting from humidity—longevity increases significantly.
