Strap for PrimaLuna Quartz 30 Stainless Steel / Pink Gold / White / Bracelet

The Longines PrimaLuna L8.112.5.16.6 is suited to multiple material choices depending on use. For maximum elegance we recommend alligator (natural texture, evolving patina over time) or shell cordovan (extraordinary chromatic density, lustrous patina). For refined daily wear, vegetable-tanned calf offers ethical aesthetics. For absolute practicality, FKM rubber on a steel deployant ensures comfort and minimal maintenance. Your choice depends on the intended wearing occasion.

Strap replacement requires a spring bar tool (lever-type instrument) and adequate lighting. Position the watch with the lugs facing you. Insert the fine tip of the spring bar tool into the lateral hole of the lug, applying gentle pressure to release the internal spring. The lug will retract: extract it from the case pins. Repeat for the lower lug. Mount the new strap by reversing the procedure. If you prefer to avoid DIY, Casati Milano atelier offers professional strap change with supervision.

A natural leather strap (alligator, calf, cordovan) subjected to daily wear typically lasts 3-5 years before replacement is needed. Factors that extend longevity: avoid prolonged exposure to moisture, do not wear during bathing/showering, alternate with other straps (rest allows materials to dry completely). With proper maintenance (conditioning with specific creams, periodic cleaning), lifespan can extend to 6-7 years. Casati Milano atelier provides an 18-month guarantee on every bespoke strap and offers specialist maintenance services.
