Strap for Master Collection 38.5 Day Date Stainless Steel / Pink Gold / Pink-Diamond / Bracelet

The lug width of the Longines Master Collection L2.755.5.99.7 is 20 millimetres. This dimension is calculated to ensure correct proportions between the 38.50 mm case, the lugs, and the replacement strap. To verify compatibility, measure the internal space between the case lugs—it must correspond exactly to 20 mm.

For this two-tone rose gold and steel reference, alligator in cognac brown or dark brown tones represents the most elegant choice, amplifying the warmth of rose gold. An excellent alternative is shell cordovan in mahogany red, which develops natural patina over time. Vegetable-tanned leather offers daily versatility, whilst black calf ensures absolute formality.

To change the strap, first remove the spring pin from one of the lugs using a dedicated tool or small flathead screwdriver. Gently extract the old strap, align the new one with the lug holes, and reinsert the spring pin until it clicks into place. Always verify that the pin is correctly secured before wearing your watch.

Yes, any strap with a 20 mm lug width is compatible with your watch. Always verify that the width is exact and that the fixing holes are correctly aligned. High-quality artisanal straps guarantee superior mechanical reliability and aesthetic longevity compared to industrial production.

A quality leather strap, with proper maintenance, lasts between 3 and 7 years. Duration depends on intensity of use, exposure to moisture and sweat, and the tanning method employed. Vegetable tanning ages better and develops patina; excessively thin leather wears more quickly. Avoid prolonged direct sunlight exposure and clean regularly with a slightly dampened cloth.
