Strap for Master Collection 38.5 Day Date Stainless Steel / Yellow Gold / Champagne-Linen / Bracelet

The lug width of the Longines Master Collection L2.755.5.38.7 is 20mm. This measurement is specific to the model and represents the space between the two attachment points on the case where the strap is installed. It is essential to ensure that any strap purchased is cut precisely to 20mm to guarantee correct and proportional mounting on the case.

For the two-tone yellow gold and steel L2.755.5.38.7, we recommend alligator in cognac or dark brown tones, which creates chromatic harmony with the gold, or black calf leather to emphasize contrast with the case. Shell cordovan is ideal for those seeking an extraordinary patina over time. Natural alligator in light tones offers a fascinating progressive ageing. Your choice depends on your usage context and personal aesthetic preference.

Changing the strap on the L2.755.5.38.7 is done by extracting the spring bars (or lugs) from their respective holes in the case. Use a dedicated tool (spring bar tool or specific pliers) to avoid damaging the case. Insert the new strap by aligning the spring bars with the case holes, ensuring the strap is positioned symmetrically. If you are not experienced, we recommend the service at an authorised watchmaker or Casati Milano atelier.

Yes, aftermarket straps of quality crafted with spring bars cut to 20mm are fully compatible with the L2.755.5.38.7. It is essential to purchase from reliable suppliers that guarantee precise manufacturing tolerances. On milanostraps.it you will find a selection of 20mm straps specifically designed for classic watches like your Master Collection, with compatibility and Italian quality guarantee.

The lifespan of a leather strap depends on leather quality, frequency of use, and environmental conditions. An excellent quality alligator or shell cordovan strap, used daily but rotated with other straps, can last 3-5 years before requiring restoration. A good quality calf leather strap has an average lifespan of 2-3 years. Prolonged exposure to sun, humidity, and perspiration accelerates ageing. Casati Milano offers 18 months warranty on its work and restoration and regeneration services.
