Strap for PrimaLuna Automatic 30 Pink Gold Diamond Funky MOP

The lug width of the Longines PrimaLuna L8.113.9.83.6 is 8mm. This dimension measures the distance between the two lateral pins of the case and is essential for selecting a compatible strap. When measured correctly with a digital calliper, it must be exactly 8mm to ensure a precise fit without play or excessive tension.

For the PrimaLuna L8.113.9.83.6 in pink gold, we recommend straps in alligator (mahogany brown, cognac, or polished black) or vegetable-tanned calf leather. Alligator maintains uniform graining without competing aesthetically with the pink gold, whilst calf leather offers an organic patina that evolves over time. For casual contexts, structured FKM rubber ensures practicality without visual compromise.

To change the strap, you must remove the spring bars from the lateral lugs of the case. Position the timepiece with the case facing upwards and use a dedicated tool (spring bar tool) to gently compress the small metal pin on each bar. Once released, the bar slides out of the lug. Insert the new strap by repeating the process in reverse order, ensuring that the bars are properly seated in the lugs on both sides.

Yes, all straps with an 8mm lug width are compatible with the PrimaLuna L8.113.9.83.6. However, it is essential to choose specialist brands that guarantee precise millimetre tolerances and jewellery-grade materials (certified alligator, aniline calf, FKM rubber). Generic lower-quality straps may exhibit excessive play or premature wear of the spring bars.

A jewellery-grade alligator or calf strap typically lasts 4–6 years of daily wear, provided it receives regular maintenance. Oiling every six months, water-repellent protection after the first week, and immediate drying after prolonged moisture exposure significantly extend the strap's lifespan. Alternating use with a second strap (black + colour) doubles its longevity by distributing wear.
