Strap for Presence 25.5 Automatic Stainless Steel / Silver - Mixed

The lug width of the Longines Presence L4.321.4.75.2 is 13mm. This measurement refers to the internal distance between the lug pins where the strap is attached. Using the correct lug width is essential to prevent premature wear on the lugs and ensure proper interface between the timepiece and the wrist.

For the Présence with its 25.5mm diameter, genuine alligator and vegetable-tanned leather are the most harmonious choices: alligator's transverse grain creates an elegant contrast with the case's modern geometry, whilst leather develops a personalised patina over time. For versatile daily use, a silk-cotton NATO strap offers practicality whilst maintaining refinement. Rubber is ideal for aquatic environments.

The Présence's strap is changed using a spring bar tool. Insert the flat end of the tool into the grooves of the spring bar, lift gently and slide the bar outward. Repeat on both sides. To install a new strap, reverse the procedure, ensuring the bars are fully inserted into the lugs on both sides of the case.

Yes, any strap with a 13mm lug width is compatible with the Présence L4.321.4.75.2, provided the construction quality is adequate. We recommend artisanal straps with stainless steel or titanium bars for durability. Avoid low-quality straps that might scratch the case or wear prematurely.

The durability of a leather strap depends on usage intensity, climate and tanning quality. An artisanal strap made from alligator or vegetable-tanned leather can last 3-5 years with moderate daily use. Factors such as perspiration, humidity and sun exposure accelerate ageing. Proper maintenance—avoiding stagnant water and annual conditioning—significantly extends the strap's lifespan.
