Frequently asked questions

What is the lug width of the Longines PrimaLuna L8.111.8.16.6?

The lug width of the PrimaLuna L8.111.8.16.6 is 6mm. This measurement represents the distance between the two lateral attachment points on the case where the strap connects. It is essential to verify this with a digital calliper before purchase, as a strap of different width (such as 5.5mm or 6.5mm) would cause excessive play or damaging friction.

Which strap is most suitable for the Longines PrimaLuna in rose gold L8.111.8.16.6?

For this rose gold model, we primarily recommend alligator in cognac or dark brown tones, which harmonises elegantly with the precious case. Shell cordovan represents a sophisticated alternative, developing deep patina over time. A vegetable-tanned calf leather in milk white offers elegant contrast. NATO or rubber are not recommended, as they conflict with the jewel-like character of this timepiece.

How do I change the strap on the Longines PrimaLuna L8.111.8.16.6?

Strap changing requires the use of a tool called a spring bar tool. Position the watch so that the lateral pins (spring bars) are accessible. Gently insert the tool to compress the inner pin, then extract the old strap. Repeat on the opposite side. The new strap should seat on the pins with an audible click. If you are uncertain of the procedure, consult an expert.

Are there aftermarket straps compatible with the PrimaLuna L8.111.8.16.6?

Yes. It is essential that the strap features a 6mm lug width. At Milano Straps you will find artisanal straps compatible with various materials (alligator, shell cordovan, calf), customisable in length, initials and buckle type. For a complete experience, the Casati Milano atelier creates bespoke straps to measure with personal consultation.

How long does a leather strap last on a watch like the PrimaLuna L8.111.8.16.6?

A high-quality artisanal leather strap, with vegetable tanning, typically lasts 3-5 years with daily use. Factors such as frequency of use, humidity, sun exposure and maintenance influence longevity. Natural leather develops patina over time, a characteristic appreciated by enthusiasts. Milano Straps guarantees 18 months on Casati Milano custom straps, covering manufacturing defects.
