Strap for PrimaLuna 34 Automatic Moonphase Stainless Steel - Diamond / Silver - Roman / Bracelet

The lug width of the Longines PrimaLuna L8.126.0.71.6 is 8mm. This measurement represents the distance between the inner poles of the upper and lower lugs. It is crucial to verify this dimension before ordering an aftermarket strap to ensure perfect fit and visual harmony with the case.

For the PrimaLuna L8.126.0.71.6, alligator straps are recommended for formal elegance, vegetable-tanned calf for versatile daily wear, shell cordovan for durability and natural patina development, or rubber for aquatic environments. The choice depends on intended use and desired colour palette. Milano Straps and Casati Milano atelier offer personalised options for every preference.

Strap replacement requires a dedicated tool (spring bar tool) to compress the pin springs and extract them from the lugs. Position the tool on the lower spring of the pin, compress gently and slide the pin out of the case. Repeat for the opposite lug, insert the new strap into the pins and verify the locking click. If unfamiliar with the procedure, consult an authorised service centre.

Yes, absolutely. It is essential that the strap has a compatible 8mm lug width. Milano Straps offers a collection of 8mm straps in various materials and finishes (alligator, calf, shell cordovan, rubber, NATO) that adapt seamlessly to the PrimaLuna without altering the original case. Casati Milano atelier also creates fully bespoke straps with personal consultation.

A natural leather strap (alligator, calf, shell cordovan) typically lasts 3-5 years with regular daily use, depending on exposure to moisture, salt and perspiration. Vegetable-tanned calf develops patina and improves over time. Shell cordovan, due to its superior density, often reaches 7-10 years. Milano Straps guarantees 18 months on Casati Milano straps. Regular maintenance (application of nourishing cream, drying after moisture exposure) extends durability significantly.
