Frequently asked questions
What is the lug width of the Longines PrimaLuna L8.110.5.89.2?
The Longines PrimaLuna L8.110.5.89.2 features a lug width (anse measurement) of 6 millimetres, which is a specific and non-standard dimension requiring purpose-built straps for proper fitment. This size derives from the compact 26.50-millimetre case design and the intentional pursuit of harmonious proportions between watch body and strap.
What is the best strap for the Longines PrimaLuna L8.110.5.89.2?
Alligator leather in neutral tones (black, taupe, grey) offers the optimal technical and aesthetic partnership for the PrimaLuna, as the uniform surface amplifies the mother-of-pearl dial without obtrusive texture. Alternatively, vegetable-tanned calf leather provides natural patina development through wear, appealing to collectors who value chromatic evolution over time.
How do I change the strap on a Longines PrimaLuna L8.110.5.89.2?
Strap replacement is performed by removing the horizontal pins connecting the lugs to the case using a dedicated spring bar tool or small screwdriver. Position the watch on a soft surface to avoid scratches, gently push the pin from one side until fully extracted, then remove the old strap and insert the new one by aligning the holes with the lugs. Pressure must be gentle yet decisive, avoiding forceful movements that could damage internal threading.
Can I use aftermarket straps on the Longines PrimaLuna L8.110.5.89.2?
Yes, aftermarket straps are compatible provided they are constructed for 6mm lug width specification. Milano Straps manufactures artisanal straps in various materials (alligator, calf, NATO, rubber), customisable in size, colour, and finish. Verification of lug compatibility and spring bar integrity is essential before installing any aftermarket strap.
How long does a leather strap last on the Longines PrimaLuna?
Leather strap longevity depends on material quality, tanning method, usage frequency, and maintenance practices. Quality artisanal alligator or calf leather typically endures 3 to 6 years of daily wear, with potential accelerated deterioration if frequently exposed to moisture, water, or excessive perspiration. Vegetable-tanned leather ages aesthetically whilst maintaining structural integrity longer. Casati Milano guarantees 18 months on atelier-crafted straps.
