Frequently asked questions

What is the lug width of the Longines Presence L4.922.4.52.6?

The lug width of the Longines Presence L4.922.4.52.6 is 20 millimetres. This specific measurement requires straps manufactured to order or selected from dedicated 20mm collections, as it does not correspond to standard widths such as 18mm or 22mm. To verify compatibility, measure the distance between the lugs using a digital calliper.

Which strap is best for the Longines Presence L4.922.4.52.6?

For the Presence L4.922.4.52.6, we recommend alligator for formal elegance, vegetable-tanned calf for everyday versatility, or shell cordovan for exceptional durability. Black or deep brown are classical colours that enhance the silver dial; navy blue or beige offer contemporary appeal. Your choice depends on primary use: formal occasions require elegant leather, whilst active wear demands technical rubber or nylon.

How do I change the strap on the Longines Presence L4.922.4.52.6?

Remove the old strap using a spring bar tool to push the elastic pin that secures the strap to the watch lugs. Align the new 20mm strap with the holes, insert the elastic pin into the upper lug, then push gently until you hear a click in the lower hole. Verify there is no lateral play before wearing the watch.

Can I use an aftermarket 20mm strap on this Longines?

Yes, absolutely. The Longines Presence L4.922.4.52.6 is compatible with any aftermarket 20mm strap featuring straight lugs (not curved). Confirm the strap has the same 20mm width measured between the attachment points at the lugs. MilanoStraps offers a complete collection of 20mm artisanal leather straps, alligator, and technical materials, customisable upon request.

How long does a leather strap last on the Longines Presence L4.922.4.52.6?

A quality leather strap on a 40mm Presence will last 3–5 years with daily wear, extendable to 7–8 years with regular maintenance (annual cleaning and conditioning). Shell cordovan can exceed 10 years due to natural hardness. Durability depends on humidity, frequency of use, and care: protect from rain, apply conditioning balm annually, and rotate straps to extend lifespan. MilanoStraps guarantees artisanal straps for 18 months.
