Strap for Presence 38.5 Quartz PVD Gold / Champagne / Bracelet

The lug width of the Longines Presence L4.790.2.32.7 is 20mm. This measurement refers to the distance between the two spring bar attachments on the case where the strap is fastened. To verify compatibility, measure the distance between the two lugs on the case using a millimetre ruler positioned perpendicularly.

We recommend American alligator of superior quality for the Presence L4.790.2.32.7, which offers fine and consistent grain, or shell cordovan if you prefer a liquid patina and extraordinary density. Both materials develop a natural patina over time and integrate perfectly with the brushed stainless steel case. Alternatively, vegetable-tanned calf leather represents an elegant and softer choice.

To change the strap, position the watch on a soft surface and use a dedicated tool (spring bar tool) to remove the spring bar attachments from the case lugs. Gently press the attachment lever downward and slide the lug outward. Insert the new strap by aligning the holes with the case shoulders and press until you hear the click of the lock. If you are inexperienced, consult a professional.

Yes, absolutely. The Presence L4.790.2.32.7 features standard 20mm lugs, compatible with any high-quality strap of the same width. Aftermarket straps in alligator, shell cordovan, calf or rubber offer the opportunity to personalise your watch according to your aesthetic taste and use context. Ensure that the strap has been produced with premium materials and artisanal construction.

The lifespan of a leather strap depends on the material and frequency of use. Premium alligator or shell cordovan lasts 5-10 years with daily wear and minimal maintenance (avoid prolonged water exposure). Calf leather and other less dense materials have a lifespan of 3-7 years. With proper care—drying after moisture exposure and occasional cleaning—a premium strap can accompany your watch for decades.
