Strap for PrimaLuna Quartz 23 Pink Gold MOP

The lug width (ansa width) of the Longines PrimaLuna L8.109.8.87.6 is 6mm. This measurement refers to the space between the two lugs of the case where the strap is attached. Precise measurement with a digital calliper is essential for ensuring aftermarket strap compatibility.

For the Longines PrimaLuna in rose gold with a 23mm case, black or dark brown alligator is the most natural aesthetic choice. Alternatively, vegetable-tanned calf leather with aged patina creates a warm harmony with rose gold. It is important to choose a deployante clasp for comfort.

Use a dedicated spring bar tool to extract the pins that secure the strap to the lugs. Place the watch on a soft surface to avoid scratches. Gently remove the pin from one side, then slide the strap away. Insert the new strap by aligning the holes and reinsert the pins with precision. If you prefer to avoid DIY, Casati Milano offers strap change services.

An alligator strap of good quality lasts 5-7 years with regular wear. Vegetable-tanned calf leather has a similar lifespan but develops a more visible patina. Shell cordovan, due to its density, can last 8-10 years. Durability depends on frequency of wear, climate conditions and maintenance.
