Strap for Presence 25.5 Automatic PVD Gold / Champagne - Mixed / Bracelet

The lug width of the Longines Presence L4.321.2.45.7 is 13 mm. This is a specific and non-standard measurement, deliberately chosen by Longines to maintain the perfect proportions of this 25.50 mm timepiece. It is important to verify this measurement before purchasing a replacement strap, as most standard straps are manufactured for lugs of 16, 18 or 20 mm. To accurately measure the lug width, observe the space between the lugs (the lateral pins of the case) and measure from the inside of one to the other.

The choice of material depends on your lifestyle and occasions of use. For a classic and elegant look, we recommend alligator with vegetable tanning, which develops a beautiful patina over time. Smooth calfskin is ideal if you prefer a more formal and contemporary appearance. For practicality and versatility, canvas NATO straps or vulcanised rubber offer excellent functionality while maintaining elegance. For special occasions, shell cordovan or python represent very refined choices. The natural steel of the case dialogues beautifully with earth tones such as cognac, tobacco and deep bordeaux.

To change the strap on your Longines Presence, you will need a specific tool such as a spring bar tool or pin removal instrument. Observe the small pins (spring bar) at the ends of the case: using the tool, gently press to compress the internal spring and slide off the old strap. Once removed, insert the new strap by aligning the holes with the pins, then release the pressure to lock everything in place. If you are not experienced, Milano Straps and the Casati Milano atelier offer professional strap change services, ensuring the operation is performed without risk to the delicate lugs of this 13 mm timepiece.

Yes, you can use an aftermarket strap on your Longines Presence L4.321.2.45.7, provided it has the correct 13 mm lug width. Milano Straps offers a wide selection of artisanal straps compatible with 13 mm lugs, made from quality materials such as alligator, calfskin, shell cordovan and technical fabrics. High-quality aftermarket straps often offer a choice of materials and finishes superior to the originals, allowing you to further personalise your watch. Always verify the lug specifications before purchase to avoid incompatibility.

The lifespan of a leather strap depends on several factors: the type of tanning, the quality of the leather, the intensity of use and environmental conditions. A high-quality calfskin or alligator strap with vegetable tanning, such as those made by Milano Straps, can last 3 to 5 years with daily use, and even longer if worn occasionally. A shell cordovan strap, due to its density, is even more durable. Leather fears excessive moisture and direct heat: avoid wearing the watch while showering or during intense physical activities. The Casati Milano atelier offers an 18-month warranty on its straps and can replace or restore the strap when necessary.
