Strap for Record 26mm Stainless Steel / Pink Gold / Silver / Bracelet

The lug width of the Longines Record L2.320.5.72.7 is 18mm. This measurement is specific to the model and is essential when selecting an aftermarket strap. Measure perpendicularly between the two lugs using a digital calliper. Ensure your replacement strap has a maximum width of 18mm for perfect fit and to avoid rubbing against the case sides.

For the Longines Record L2.320.5.72.7, an alligator strap in cognac or dark chocolate brown is ideal, as it complements the warm tones of the rose gold case. Mississippi alligator with natural grain maintains the dress watch's elegant proportions. Alternatively, European calf leather with vegetable tanning offers a naturally developed patina over time. For less formal occasions, a NATO or brushed FKM rubber strap provides versatility whilst preserving the Record's minimalist aesthetic.

To change the strap on the Longines Record L2.320.5.72.7, use a spring bar tool. Insert the tool along one lug side, apply gentle downward pressure to disengage the internal clasp, and remove the old strap. Repeat on the other lug. Insert your new 18mm strap, aligning the holes with the lugs, and actuate the spring bar until you feel it lock into place. Work carefully to avoid scratching the lugs, particularly the rose gold sections.

Yes, any quality 18mm strap is compatible with the Longines Record L2.320.5.72.7, provided the maximum thickness does not exceed 3.5–4mm in critical sections. The Record's tapered lugs leave narrow margins. Artisanal straps from milanostraps.it are tested for geometric compatibility and thickness, and are personalised to your wrist size. Ordering from Casati Milano includes WhatsApp assistance during fitting.

Strap durability depends on tanning quality and use intensity. High-quality Mississippi alligator resists wear for 7–10 years with regular maintenance (monthly cleaning, drying after perspiration, dry storage). European calf leather with vegetable tanning lasts 5–8 years and develops a natural patina. Hand-stitched straps with interlaced silk thread outlast mechanical stitching. Casati Milano straps come with an 18-month warranty and can be reconditioned after 5 years of intensive wear, extending useful life whilst maintaining the 18mm width.
