Lug width
Frequently asked questions
What is the lug width of the Longines PrimaLuna L8.111.9.16.6?
The lug width of the Longines PrimaLuna L8.111.9.16.6 is 6mm. This non-standard size is specific to this model and requires careful strap selection. To verify it, measure with a calliper the perpendicular distance between the centre of the two pins protruding from the case.
Which strap do you recommend for the Longines PrimaLuna L8.111.9.16.6?
For the PrimaLuna L8.111.9.16.6 we recommend alligator in vegetable tanning (chocolate brown or natural beige), high-quality calf leather in taupe grey, or shell cordovan for those seeking durability and patina development over time. We advise against artificially varnished leather that would compete with the rose gold of the case.
How do I change the strap on my Longines PrimaLuna L8.111.9.16.6?
To change the strap, obtain a spring bar tool (available from watchmakers). Insert the tool into the lateral hole of the case, push inward to release the pin, and remove the old strap. Repeat on the opposite side. Insert the new pins into the lugs of the new strap, then reinsert the pin into the case hole until the safety click.
Is the aftermarket strap I buy from Milano Straps compatible with my PrimaLuna L8.111.9.16.6?
Yes, provided it is specifically in 6mm lug width. Milano Straps straps for 6mm lug width are crafted with precise tolerances to ensure complete compatibility with the Longines PrimaLuna L8.111.9.16.6. We recommend verifying at checkout that the lug width is confirmed as 6mm.
How long does a natural leather strap last on the Longines PrimaLuna L8.111.9.16.6?
A high-quality leather strap (alligator, calf, shell cordovan) with vegetable tanning typically lasts 3–7 years with moderate daily wear, depending on frequency of use and environmental conditions. Alligator tends to last shorter than shell cordovan. Proper maintenance (keeping it dry, avoiding immersion) significantly extends longevity.
