Frequently asked questions
What is the lug width of the Longines PrimaLuna L8.110.5.16.2?
The lug width of the Longines PrimaLuna L8.110.5.16.2 is precisely 6mm. This measurement, calculated internally between the spring bars, is crucial for purchasing compatible straps. It can be easily verified with a digital calliper by measuring the interior space between the two pins that pass through the case.
Which strap is most suitable for the Longines PrimaLuna L8.110.5.16.2?
For the PrimaLuna L8.110.5.16.2, we primarily recommend alligator, which creates an interesting aesthetic contrast with the rose gold and steel case. Shell cordovan represents an excellent alternative for those desiring a deep patina over time. Calf leather offers a softer and more versatile solution, while rubber and NATO straps are ideal for a more contemporary and everyday approach.
How do I change the strap on my Longines PrimaLuna L8.110.5.16.2?
To change the strap, obtain a spring bar removal tool and a small illuminated work surface. Locate the pin passing through the upper lug of the case and push it downward using the tool until it springs out, then extract the old strap. Repeat the operation on the lower lug. Insert the new pins into the 6mm strap and, positioning them in the case openings, push them upward until they click into place. If preferred, the Casati Milano atelier can perform this operation during an appointment visit.
Can I use aftermarket straps compatible with the Longines PrimaLuna L8.110.5.16.2?
Yes, any strap with a 6mm lug width is compatible with the PrimaLuna L8.110.5.16.2, provided that the spring bars are of the correct size. Milano Straps offers a specialised collection of 6mm straps handcrafted in premium materials such as alligator, calf leather, shell cordovan and vegetable-tanned leather, all designed to match this timepiece visually and tactilely.
How long does a leather strap last on the Longines PrimaLuna L8.110.5.16.2?
The lifespan of a leather strap depends on frequency of use, tanning type and care. On average, a high-quality shell cordovan strap lasts 3-5 years with daily wear, calf leather 2-4 years, whilst alligator can extend durability to 5-7 years. Vegetable-tanned leather develops an increasingly fascinating patina over time. Milano Straps guarantees 18 months on all straps made by the Casati Milano atelier, covering manufacturing defects and premature material wear.
