Frequently asked questions
What is the lug width of the Longines Master Collection L2.357.4.98.6?
The lug width is 18 millimetres. This dimension is measured as the distance between the two pins/attachment points that secure the strap to the case. The 18mm is a classic standard for luxury dress watches, available in a wide range of artisanal straps.
Which strap is most suitable for the Longines Master Collection L2.357.4.98.6?
Alligator represents the most coherent choice: the natural texture of the scales dialogues perfectly with the linear geometry of the stainless steel case. Black alligator for formal contexts, cognac brown for versatility. Vegetable-tanned calf is a refined alternative, with patina evolving over years.
How do you change the strap on a Longines Master Collection L2.357.4.98.6?
Use a spring bar tool: insert the flat tip into the lateral hole of the lug, gently lift the metal pin until it detaches from the case. Repeat on the other side. For the new strap, align the pins to the lug slots and press until secure. A task of seconds, requiring no special tools.
Can aftermarket straps be used on this model?
Yes, absolutely. Any strap with an 18mm lug width is compatible, including high-quality aftermarket options. Milano Straps offers a wide selection of artisanal 18mm straps in premium leather, rubber and materials specific to this case.
How long does a natural leather strap last on a watch like the Longines?
A quality leather strap, with vegetable tanning or alligator, lasts on average 5-8 years with daily use, longer if treated with minimal care: avoid prolonged exposure to humidity and excessive perspiration. Shell cordovan has superior durability. Milano Straps provides an 18-month guarantee on all bespoke straps.
