Strap for Presence 37 Automatic Gold

The Longines Presence L4.787.6.12.2 features an 18-millimetre lug width. This measurement is determined by the distance between the spring bar posts that attach the strap to the case. Measure accurately from post to post (excluding any strap lugs) to ensure complete compatibility with any aftermarket strap.

For a yellow gold Presence 37mm, we recommend an alligator strap with vegetable tanning (black or brown) for formal contexts, or satinised calf leather for daily versatility. Those seeking certified longevity should consider shell cordovan in burgundy or cognac, as these develop a noble patina that enhances the case's warmth over time.

Remove the strap using a spring bar tool to compress the spring-loaded posts. Position the tool on the post seat, apply gentle pressure, extract the post from its housing, then lift the strap free. This operation requires care to avoid scratching the case. If uncertain, consult a specialised service centre or Atelier Casati Milano directly.

Yes, provided the strap is specifically sized for 18mm lugs. All our straps on milanostraps.it are available in this measurement for your Presence. Compatibility is guaranteed by matching lug width; constructive differences (leather thickness, buckle finish) do not compromise mechanical fit to the case.

A quality leather strap (alligator, calf, cordovan) typically lasts 3–5 years with daily wear, developing natural patina. Longevity depends on humidity exposure, conservation treatments, and rotation frequency with alternative straps. Shell cordovan resists longer (5–7 years) due to fibre density. Casati Milano's 18-month warranty covers manufacturing defects and refurbishment.
