Strap for Record 26mm Stainless Steel / Diamond / Black-Diamond / Bracelet

The lug width of the Longines Record L2.320.0.57.6 is 20mm. This measurement indicates the distance between the two lugs on the case and determines compatibility with aftermarket straps. A strap must be precisely 20mm to fit correctly without forcing.

Satin alligator in medium chestnut tone is the ideal choice for this model, as it amplifies formality without competing visually with the steel case. An excellent alternative is shell cordovan, which develops rapid natural patina and imparts tactile movement on the wrist.

Obtain a spring bar tool (specialist implement with hook). Position the watch on a flat surface, insert the thin tip of the tool into the lug slot, gently push downward to release the suspension spring, withdraw the old strap. Repeat on the opposite side. Align the new strap's apertures with the lugs and reinsert the spring bar until you hear a click of engagement.

Any 20mm strap is compatible, provided the lugs are designed for standard shoulders without proprietary profiles. Verify the width (20mm), thickness (recommended 3-4mm), and total length suitable for your wrist. milanostraps.it straps guarantee geometric compatibility and premium materials.

A premium leather strap typically lasts 2-4 years with daily wear, variable depending on the leather type (alligator more durable), maintenance, and frequency of use. Cordovan offers greater longevity owing to natural leather density. Casati Milano's 18-month warranty covers construction defects; natural wear is physiological and desirable for the piece's aesthetic evolution.
