Frequently asked questions
What is the lug width of the Longines Presence L4.790.2.11.7?
The lug width of the Longines Presence L4.790.2.11.7 is 20mm. This measurement is the essential parameter for selecting a compatible strap for the 38.50mm case. Measure the distance between the strap lugs on the case to verify compatibility before purchasing.
Which strap pairs best with the Longines Presence L4.790.2.11.7?
For the Longines Presence L4.790.2.11.7, we recommend an alligator strap with vegetable tanning, which emphasises the minimalist elegance of the stainless steel case. A versatile alternative is vegetable-tanned calf leather, which develops rich patina over time. For daily casual wear, a technical NATO or rubber strap maintains practicality without sacrificing style.
How do you change the strap on a Longines Presence L4.790.2.11.7?
Strap replacement is accomplished through the spring bars (elastic pins) that connect the strap to the case lugs. Using a spring bar remover or small flat tool, apply gentle pressure to one end of the pin to disengage it, remove the old strap, and insert the new one by aligning it with the lug attachments. Quick operation, fully reversible, and causes no permanent damage.
Can I use a quality aftermarket strap on this Longines?
Absolutely. A 20mm artisanal aftermarket strap is perfectly compatible with the Longines Presence L4.790.2.11.7. In fact, choosing a strap in noble materials such as alligator or vegetable-tanned calf often enhances the aesthetic experience compared to the original strap, allowing you to personalise the watch according to your taste and actual use.
How long does a natural leather strap last on a watch like this?
A quality vegetable-tanned leather strap typically lasts 3-4 years with moderate daily wear. Durability depends on environmental humidity, frequency of wear, and care. Regular maintenance—drying after water contact, gentle cleaning, and occasional conditioning—significantly extends its lifespan. Milano Straps offers an 18-month warranty on straps produced in-house at the atelier.
