Strap for Presence 23.5 Quartz Stainless Steel

The lug width (misura ansa) of the Longines Presence L4.220.4.12.2 is 12mm. This measurement represents the horizontal distance between the two attachment points on the case where the strap is fitted. Accurate measurement is critical: use a calliper on the inner side of the lugs, excluding the rounded shoulders, to ensure correct compatibility with aftermarket straps.

For the Longines Presence L4.220.4.12.2, straps in alligator with vegetable tanning or premium calf leather are recommended, in natural brown, burgundy or black shades. Alligator offers the finest balance between classical aesthetics and durability, with a regular grain that enhances the delicate case proportions. Shell cordovan represents a premium option for those seeking exceptional wear resistance. Straps must measure 12mm wide to ensure perfect compatibility with the case lugs.

The strap is changed via spring bars connecting the strap to the case lugs. Using a dedicated spring bar tool, gently press the pin from one side, sliding the old strap out of the attachment. Insert the new strap identically, ensuring the spring bars click firmly into position. We recommend performing this operation on a stable surface to prevent accidental drops.

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.

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.
