Frequently asked questions
What is the lug width of the Longines PrimaLuna L8.110.8.87.6?
The Longines PrimaLuna L8.110.8.87.6 features a lug width of 6mm. This extra-slim configuration is a deliberate construction choice designed to maintain the elegant proportions of the 26.50mm case. It is essential to verify this measurement before purchasing aftermarket straps, as 6mm is a precise standard that does not tolerate approximations: measuring the internal distance between the two lugs ensures perfect compatibility.
Which strap should I pair with the Longines PrimaLuna L8.110.8.87.6?
For the PrimaLuna L8.110.8.87.6 in pink gold, ideal straps include: alligator in taupe brown or cognac (for maximum visual contrast), Italian calf in vegetable tanning in hazelnut or tobacco tones (for aesthetic evolution over time), black shell cordovan (for elegant polarity) or technical FKM rubber in deep black (for contemporary practicality). The choice depends on usage: formal occasions call for alligator or aniline leather, while casual wear permits NATO cotton or technical rubber.
How do I change the strap on my Longines PrimaLuna L8.110.8.87.6?
The PrimaLuna L8.110.8.87.6 uses standard straight lugs of 6mm. To change the strap: obtain a spring bar tool, gently insert the flat end under the lower lug spring, push upward to release the spring, remove the old strap, position the new strap by aligning it with the lugs, and press until the spring clicks into place. This is a straightforward operation, but requires care to avoid scratches on the pink gold case.
Can I fit aftermarket straps on this Longines?
Yes, the Longines PrimaLuna L8.110.8.87.6 accepts aftermarket straps with compatible 6mm lug width. Numerous high-quality options are available in leather, alligator, rubber and textiles, both online and through specialist ateliers. It is crucial to verify lug width compatibility (6mm) and choose thicknesses proportionate to the 26.50mm case diameter to maintain overall aesthetic harmony.
How long does a leather strap last on a watch like the PrimaLuna L8.110.8.87.6?
Leather strap lifespan depends on type: vegetable-tanned calf withstands 3-5 years with moderate daily wear, evolving aesthetically; alligator lasts 4-6 years thanks to superior structural resistance; shell cordovan easily exceeds 6-8 years. Intermittent use extends overall lifespan. To prolong strap life, limit direct moisture exposure and alternate with other straps to allow natural evaporation of moisture absorbed by fibres.
