Strap for Longines Master Collection L2.841.4.18.5

Genuine alligator represents the finest choice for this model, as its distinctive scaled texture harmonises perfectly with the brushed surfaces of the case. Alternatively, vegetable-tanned calf leather offers enduring prestige and develops a patina that enriches the watch's character over time. For versatility, Cordura canvas NATO maintains proportions consistent with the 47.50mm diameter.

Yes, provided the aftermarket strap is calibrated exactly at 25 millimetres lug width. Artisanal quality straps made to measure guarantee perfect compatibility and enable aesthetic personalisation (colour, material, buckle, deployante) that the original strap does not permit. Always verify that the manufacturer explicitly declares the 25mm specification.

A quality strap with vegetable tanning typically lasts 3-5 years with regular daily use. Genuine alligator can last 7-8 years if properly maintained (avoid prolonged water exposure, protect from direct heat sources, apply leather conditioner every 6-12 months). Longevity depends on environmental factors, frequency of use and preventive care practices.
