Strap for PrimaLuna Quartz 26.5 Stainless Steel / Yellow Gold / Diamond / MOP / Bracelet

The lug width of the Longines PrimaLuna L8.110.5.97.6 is 6mm. This measurement represents the distance between the two lateral pins on the case. To verify this parameter, measure the internal space between the lugs using a digital calliper or flexible ruler. This dimension restricts the search for aftermarket straps to specialised catalogues offering this specific width.

For the PrimaLuna, we recommend alligator with vegetable tanning (for a vintage aesthetic and developing patina over time), Hermès or English calf (for daily elegance), shell cordovan in cigar brown (for versatility and natural lustre), or a NATO in natural-dyed linen (for summer versatility). The choice depends on the dial: metallic blue pairs well with dark blue alligator; cream white with natural calf; pearl grey with smoke alligator or burgundy shell cordovan.

The PrimaLuna uses a standard spring bar system. To change the strap, remove the watch from your wrist, position a spring bar tool against the spring bar end, compress slightly to disengage it, and retract the strap. To install the new strap, insert one lug into the hole of the new band, then engage the spring bar into the second lug. If you prefer to avoid this procedure, Milano Straps offers strap-change service at home or at the Casati Milano atelier.

Yes. Since the Longines PrimaLuna features a 6mm lug width, you must search for straps specifically designed for this measurement. Milano Straps offers a dedicated collection of 6mm straps in premium leather (alligator, calf, shell cordovan) and synthetic materials, all customisable in length, initials, and thread colour. Each strap is tested for geometric and mechanical compatibility with the model.

The lifespan of a leather strap depends on the material and usage. A quality vegetable-tanned alligator strap lasts 3–5 years with daily wear; natural calf 2–4 years; shell cordovan 4–6 years due to its density and durability. Longevity increases with proper maintenance: protect the leather from prolonged water and sun exposure, occasionally apply specific balms, and allow it to dry naturally if wet. Milano Straps offers an 18-month warranty on straps and restoration services to extend the useful life of particularly appreciated bands.
