Strap for Presence 25.5 Automatic PVD Gold / White - Roman

The lug width of the Longines Presence L4.321.2.11.2 is 13mm. This measurement is specific to the ladies' model and determines compatibility with replacement straps. To verify, measure the distance between the two lugs of the case using a digital calliper.

We recommend matte or polished alligator for maximum elegance, or vegetable-tanned calf leather for natural patina development over time. Shell cordovan, if found in 13mm, represents the ultimate premium choice. For versatile daily wear, technical NATO or FKM rubber are practical and reliable alternatives.

Use a spring bar tool to compress the retaining spring on each lug. Insert the flat end of the tool into the spring hole, compress downward, and slide out the old strap. Repeat on the other side. Install the new strap by aligning one lug first, then compress the other spring to secure it completely.

Yes, any strap with 13mm lugs is constructively compatible. However, ensure aesthetic proportions are harmonious: on a 25.50mm case, overly thick straps or a heavy buckle can disrupt visual balance. Milano Straps artisanal straps are crafted maintaining this proportion.

An alligator or shell cordovan strap lasts 5-8 years with moderate wear, developing natural patina. Vegetable-tanned calf evolves aesthetically for 3-5 years, then requires replacement. Longevity depends on ambient humidity, frequency of wear, and perspiration. Milano Straps straps include an 18-month warranty against manufacturing defects.
