Strap for Presence 20 Quartz Stainless Steel

The lug width of the Longines Presence L4.219.4.72.6 is 10mm. This specific measurement is calculated by measuring the distance between the lug shoulders (the attachment points on the case). It is important not to confuse it with the case diameter, which is 20mm. Always verify this measurement before purchasing an aftermarket strap.

For a dress watch with refined proportions such as the Presence, alligator with vegetable tanning or aged shell cordovan are the most authoritative choices. Vegetable-tanned calf leather offers an elegant and versatile alternative. For daily wear, a NATO canvas strap or satin rubber strap maintains style whilst enhancing practicality. The choice depends on context: formal or sporty-elegant.

The strap is changed using a strap remover tool or a small flathead screwdriver. First identify the pins or lugs connecting the strap to the case. Apply gentle pressure to extract the pin, remove the old strap and insert the new one, aligning it correctly. If you are not experienced, it is advisable to entrust the task to a specialised atelier such as Casati Milano.

Yes, it is possible to use compatible high-quality aftermarket straps, provided they respect the 10mm lug width. Milano Straps offers straps in alligator, shell cordovan, calf leather and rubber specifically selected for this size, customisable in length, colour and stitching. For an even more personalised result, the Casati Milano atelier creates custom-made straps.

Durability depends on the type of leather and usage. A superior-quality alligator or vegetable-tanned shell cordovan typically lasts 3-5 years with regular use and proper maintenance (occasional cleaning, protection from moisture). A dyed calf strap may last 2-4 years. Milano Straps straps include an 18-month warranty, and the Casati Milano atelier offers maintenance and patina restoration services.
