Strap for Presence 23.5 Quartz Yellow

The lug width of the Longines Presence L4.220.2.11.2 is 12mm. This width is specifically calibrated for the 23.5mm case size, maintaining elegant proportions and ensuring structural stability. Measure the internal distance between the attachment lugs to verify conformity before ordering an aftermarket strap.

For this model, we recommend fine-grained alligator (unstressed texture) that respects the design's lightness, or saffiano calf for those desiring natural patina. Shell cordovan is ideal for summer durability without adding thickness. We advise against thick skins or heavy textures that compromise the delicate proportions of the Presence.

The swap requires a simple spring bar remover tool to extract the attachment pins from the lugs. No case disassembly is needed: position the new strap by inserting one lug first, then the other. Use a deployante clasp in stainless steel to facilitate changing and stabilise the strap during wear.

Yes, provided the width is 12mm. Artisanal quality straps in alligator, calf, or shell cordovan are fully compatible. Always verify the internal lug width (12mm) before ordering. Atelier Casati Milano offers complete customisation with personal skin selection and thread choice.

On small watches like the Presence, a quality leather strap typically lasts 3–5 years with daily use, due to reduced mechanical stress compared to larger watches. Alligator and shell cordovan offer superior longevity (5–7 years). Vegetable tanning, more delicate, requires regular maintenance and ages visibly.
