Strap for Presence 37 Automatic Gold

The lug width of the Longines Presence L4.787.6.32.2 is 18mm. This intermediate measurement requires a strap specifically compatible with this width. Always verify the measurement before ordering by measuring externally from one lug to the other, perpendicular to the dial.

For a Presence L4.787.6.32.2 in yellow gold 37mm, we recommend an alligator strap in cognac or dark brown, or a European calf in vegetable tanning. Both age with natural patina, paralleling the gold. For formal occasions, burgundy shell cordovan creates an elegant contrast. We advise against rubber or NATO straps, as they diminish the sophistication of the case.

Strap replacement requires a dedicated tool (spring bar removal or lever). Position the watch on soft cloth with the case facing down. Locate the small arrow on the rear of the lug, indicating extraction direction. Use a dedicated lever to release the internal spring and remove the old strap. Insert the new 18mm strap in the same position, ensuring the spring clicks securely. If you are inexperienced, entrust the task to a professional watchmaker.

Yes, the Presence L4.787.6.32.2 is fully compatible with quality aftermarket 18mm straps. Milano Straps offers artisanal straps in alligator, calf, shell cordovan and other materials, all crafted with precise lugs and buckles for the 18mm lug width. A well-constructed aftermarket strap does not compromise the watch and offers superior colour options to official Longines offerings.

A good quality natural leather strap (alligator, calf, shell cordovan) typically lasts 3-5 years of daily wear. Durability depends on climate, skin perspiration and maintenance. Protect the strap from excessive water and prolonged humidity. A good treatment with hydrophobic creams extends durability. Milano Straps offers an 18-month warranty on all straps and replacement of worn parts (lugs, buckle) at reduced cost.
