Frequently asked questions
Which strap material is best suited for the Longines Presence L4.720.4.12.2?
For the Presence L4.720.4.12.2, we recommend alligator in medium brown for classic elegance, vegetable-tanned calf for daily wear, or navy alligator for blue dials. Your choice depends on intended use: formal, business, or casual.
Is the Longines Presence L4.720.4.12.2 compatible with aftermarket straps?
Yes, any artisanal strap with 18mm lug width is compatible. Choose models featuring a stainless steel deployant clasp and quality materials (alligator, shell cordovan, calf). Avoid synthetics and generic straps that fail to honour the case quality.
How long does a leather strap last on the Longines Presence L4.720.4.12.2?
A quality alligator or calf strap lasts 3–5 years with daily wear, up to 7–8 years with seasonal rotation. Vegetable-tanned leather ages elegantly, developing patina. Longevity depends on climate, humidity, and maintenance—avoid prolonged perspiration exposure.
