Frequently asked questions
What is the lug width of the Longines PrimaLuna L8.110.8.16.2?
The Longines PrimaLuna L8.110.8.16.2 features a miniaturised lug width of exactly 6mm. This is a non-standard dimension requiring purpose-built straps. You may verify the measurement by positioning a digital calliper perpendicular to the lug axis, measuring the internal distance between the case lugs.
Which strap do you recommend for the Longines PrimaLuna L8.110.8.16.2?
We recommend an alligator with vegetable tanning in cognac, deep burgundy, or deep black for the PrimaLuna L8.110.8.16.2. Alligator respects the elegant proportions of the 26.50mm case without visual discord. Alternatively, aniline calf, premium shell cordovan calf, or fine-weave natural linen NATO straps maintain aesthetic harmony. Avoid thicknesses exceeding 1.6mm to preserve miniaturised proportions.
How do I change the strap on a 6mm lug width watch?
Changing the strap requires a specialised spring bar tool with 6mm tips (not universal). Place the watch on a soft surface, locate the spring bar pin traversing the case lugs, and apply gentle lateral pressure until the pin releases. Remove the old strap, align the new strap holes, and reinsert the pin carefully. If you lack experience, the Casati Milano atelier provides assistance without additional charges.
Can I use a generic aftermarket strap on this model?
No. The 6mm lug width is extremely specific and uncommon. Generic aftermarket straps are available only in standard widths (16mm, 18mm, 20mm, 22mm). An incorrectly dimensioned strap will not fit the case lugs properly, creating lateral play and risking accidental extraction. Milano Straps provides 6mm straps purpose-built for this geometry.
How long does a leather strap last on the PrimaLuna L8.110.8.16.2?
Longevity depends on material and usage patterns. An alligator with vegetable tanning, worn daily, maintains structural integrity for 4–6 years before potential restoration; aniline calf, being more delicate, typically lasts 2–3 years. Exposure to perspiration, humidity, and UV radiation accelerates deterioration. Milano Straps guarantees 18 months on all bespoke straps, covering manufacturing defects and construction imperfections.
