Strap for Presence 34.5 Automatic Yellow Stick Bracelet

The lug width of the Longines Presence L4.721.2.18.8 is 18 mm. This measurement represents the distance between the two protruding lateral pins of the case where the strap attaches. It is a precise constructive specification and is not interchangeable with 16, 20, or 22 mm straps.

Vegetable-tanned calf leather is ideal for preserving the minimalist nature of the Presence, developing over time a patina that harmonises with the aging of the stainless steel case. Black alligator is the formal choice for office and evening wear. High-density rubber offers daily versatility and protection from wear.

The strap is removed by opening the side spring bars using a spring bar tool: a thin instrument that allows you to compress the small elastic pins (spring bars) that support the strap at the case lugs. Once compressed, the old strap slides out and the new one attaches in the same manner. A straightforward operation requiring no professional tools.

Yes, provided they respect the 18 mm lug width specification. Bespoke artisan straps are fully compatible and often offer superior construction quality compared to original manufacturer straps. It is essential to verify that the strap thickness is appropriate for the case to avoid excessive play.

A quality leather strap with vegetable tanning or alligator leather lasts between 4 and 7 years with daily use, depending on climate, frequency of wear, and maintenance. Exposure to direct sunlight and humidity accelerates deterioration. Rubber straps have a similar lifespan with minimal maintenance. An artisan warranty of 18 months ensures replacement in case of construction defects.
