Strap for Presence 25.5 Automatic Yellow Stick Bracelet

The lug width of the Longines Presence L4.221.2.18.8 is precisely 13mm. This measurement is critical for strap compatibility: any strap must be specifically ordered in this dimension, as variations of just 1mm will render installation impossible or unstable. Always verify the reference L4.221.2.18.8 before ordering.

For the Présence, we recommend crocodile straps with natural tanning for formal wear, vegetable-tanned calf for aesthetic-durability balance, or shell cordovan for refined colour contrast. The diminutive 13mm lug width makes the strap particularly visible, so material and grain choice significantly impacts overall visual effect.

The Présence L4.221.2.18.8 features straight lugs measuring 13mm. To change: position the case face-down, use a spring bar tool (rounded-tip instrument) to compress the internal spring of the lug, carefully extract the pin, remove the old strap. Reverse the process with your new 13mm strap, ensuring the pin is fully seated.

Yes, any strap with a 13mm lug width is compatible with the Présence L4.221.2.18.8, provided it is manufactured to industrial standards. Milano Straps stocks 13mm straps tested for mechanical compatibility, with choice of materials (alligator, calf, shell cordovan, rubber) and customisation of sizing and stitching.

Leather strap longevity depends on frequency of wear and climate conditions. On a 25.50mm watch with 13mm lugs like the Présence, the strap experiences less stress than larger models. With daily wear, expect 4-5 years from calf leather, 6-8 years from alligator or shell cordovan. Casati Milano atelier offers 18-month warranty on bespoke straps.
