Frequently asked questions
Are there compatible aftermarket straps for the Longines Presence L4.220.4.12.2?
Yes, numerous compatible aftermarket straps exist in 12mm. Milano Straps offers a dedicated collection of straps in this size, customisable in length, initials, colour and leather type. It is essential to verify that the chosen strap is specifically dimensioned at 12mm to guarantee precise and secure fitting on the case spring bars.
What is the lifespan of a leather strap for the Longines Presence L4.220.4.12.2?
The lifespan of a leather strap depends on tanning method, frequency of use and environmental conditions. An alligator strap with vegetable tanning, used daily, has an average lifespan of 4-7 years before replacement is needed. Shell cordovan, more resilient, may last 7-10 years. The natural patina that develops is a sign of quality craftsmanship, not degradation. Milano Straps guarantees 18 months on bespoke straps made by the Casati Milano atelier.
