Strap for PrimaLuna Quartz 26.5 Stainless Steel / Diamond / MOP

The lug width of the Longines PrimaLuna L8.110.0.87.2 is 6mm. This is a miniaturised specification unique to this women's line, requiring specialised suppliers capable of producing straps in reduced formats. To verify compatibility, measure the distance between the two spring bar lugs on the case: it must correspond precisely to 6mm.

For the PrimaLuna L8.110.0.87.2, recommended options include vegetable-tanned alligator straps (dark brown, burgundy, or natural tones) for formal elegance; Swiss calf leather for softness and drape; shell cordovan for structural integrity and evolving patina; or FKM rubber for casual contexts and recreational activities. Choice depends on frequency of wear and wearing occasion. On a silver dial, warm tones (brown, plum, cognac) create visual harmony.

Changing the PrimaLuna L8.110.0.87.2 strap requires a specialised spring bar tool. Place the watch on a soft surface to protect the case. Locate the spring bar lugs on both sides of the case at 6mm. Gently insert the tool tip into the small slot of the lug until the internal spring compresses. Remove the old strap and insert the new one in the same manner. Verify that the spring bars click into position: you should hear a distinct click.

Yes, you can use an aftermarket strap compatible with the 6mm lug width. However, since 6mm is a specialised dimension, not all standard productions are suitable. Verify that the strap is explicitly declared compatible with this specification. Milano Straps offers handcrafted straps online in 6mm format, customisable in material, colour, and length. For specific requirements, the Casati Milano atelier creates bespoke straps on order with direct consultation.

The lifespan of a leather strap depends on material and usage conditions. Vegetable-tanned alligator maintains structural integrity for 4-6 years of moderate daily wear; shell cordovan, more resilient, can exceed 7-8 years. Calf leather requires greater maintenance and has an average lifespan of 3-4 years. Prolonged exposure to humidity, direct heat, and sunlight accelerates ageing. Periodic maintenance (gentle cleaning, conditioning with specific creams) significantly extends strap longevity.
