Strap for PrimaLuna Quartz 26.5 Stainless Steel / Pink Gold / MOP

The lug width of the Longines PrimaLuna L8.110.5.87.2 is 6mm. This measurement represents the exact distance between the two spring bars that connect the strap to the case. Verifying this dimension before ordering an aftermarket strap is essential to guarantee perfect compatibility and prevent unwanted movement between case and strap.

For the mother-of-pearl and rose gold two-tone case of the PrimaLuna, alligator leather (regular grain texture and satiny patina), vegetable-tanned calf (natural and visible ageing), or shell cordovan (superior lustre over time) are recommended. Ideal colours: milk white, pearl grey, warm cognac, light hazelnut. Avoid straps that compete chromatically with the delicate lustre of the mother-of-pearl dial.

Strap replacement is straightforward: use a spring bar tool to push the small elastic pins inward that secure the spring bars to the case lugs. Once the spring bars are released, slide off the old strap and insert the new one. Ensure the lugs (passants) are correctly positioned before releasing the spring bars. No specialist knowledge required.

Any strap designed for 6mm lug width is compatible with the PrimaLuna L8.110.5.87.2. Ready-to-wear straps are available online, customisable in dimensions, initials, and stitching thread colour. For a bespoke experience, the Casati Milano atelier crafts made-to-measure straps with personal leather selection, WhatsApp updates, and 18-month warranty.

Longevity depends on leather type and usage patterns. An alligator strap with vegetable tanning typically lasts 3-5 years with daily wear if rotated with other straps. Shell cordovan reaches 7-10 years due to superior durability and develops exceptional lustre over time. Vegetable-tanned calf evolves naturally within 2-4 years. Periodic maintenance (light cleaning, occasional conditioning with natural creams) significantly extends strap lifespan.
