Strap for Presence Automatic 30 PVD Gold / Champagne / Bracelet

The Longines Presence L4.322.2.32.7 features a lug width of 16mm. This is the precise distance between the two lateral spring bar attachment lugs where the strap is inserted. To verify this measurement, you can extract a spring bar and measure the space using a digital calliper, or contact Milano Straps for confirmation without error.

For the Presence, straps in vegetable-tanned alligator leather (cognac or dark brown), Italian calf with satin finish, or natural rubber for versatile use are ideal. Alligator ventralis imparts a refined elegance consistent with the watch's minimalist design, whilst calf offers softness and develops a natural patina over time. The choice depends on your use context and personal aesthetic preferences.

To change the strap, you will need a spring bar tool or pressure-type spring bar extractor. Gently extract the spring bar from the lateral hole in the case by pressing inward, remove the old strap, insert the new strap beneath the bar, then reinsert the bar into the opposite hole until you feel the locking click. If you are not experienced, you may consult the Casati Milano atelier for professional service.

Yes, numerous high-quality aftermarket straps are compatible with the 16mm lug width of the Presence. Milano Straps offers a comprehensive collection of artisanal straps in various materials (alligator, calf, rubber, NATO) customisable in sizing, colours and finishes. The Casati Milano atelier also creates bespoke straps with personally selected leathers and an 18-month warranty.

The lifespan of a leather strap depends on the material, tanning method and daily use. High-quality vegetable-tanned alligator has an average life of 3–5 years with regular wear, whilst robust calf can exceed 5 years. Natural leather fears prolonged moisture and requires occasional maintenance (gentle cleaning, drying). Milano Straps warrants its straps for 18 months and provides conservation advice at the time of purchase.
