Strap for Record 26mm Stainless Steel / Diamond / MOP-Diamond / Alligator

The lug width of the Longines Record L2.320.0.87.2 is 20 millimetres. This dimension is specific to this model and requires straps specifically designed for this width. Measure the distance from the inner shoulder of one lug to the other to verify compatibility with an aftermarket strap.

For the Longines Record L2.320.0.87.2, we recommend alligator with regular grain (blue, brown, or burgundy), shell cordovan for those who appreciate natural patina, or vegetable-tanned calf for visible aesthetic ageing. Avoid excessively thick straps that would alter the delicate proportions of the 26-millimetre case.

Strap replacement requires extraction of the spring bars connecting the strap to the lugs. Use a dedicated spring bar tool to apply lateral pressure to the bar, compress it and slide it out. Position the new 20-millimetre strap by aligning the holes to the lugs and insert the bars until they lock into place.

Yes, you can use aftermarket straps compatible with the 20-millimetre lug width. High-quality artisanal straps in alligator, shell cordovan or vegetable-tanned calf fit perfectly and often enhance the overall aesthetics of the Longines Record L2.320.0.87.2 through personalised finishes and leather selection.

A high-quality leather strap (alligator, shell cordovan, calf) on a watch worn daily typically lasts between 3 and 5 years, depending on humidity, sun exposure and maintenance. The leather develops natural patina and may show wear at friction points; artisanal straps are designed to be easily replaceable when necessary.
