Strap for Record 26mm Stainless Steel / Pink Gold / Silver-Arabic / Alligator

The Longines Record L2.320.5.76.2 features a lug width of 20mm, measured between the two lugs (lateral case pins). This dimension is the historical calibre of the Record family, maintained unchanged to preserve compatibility across decades. Always verify this measurement with a digital calliper before purchasing an aftermarket strap.

For the Record L2.320.5.76.2, we recommend three primary options: medium brown alligator for formal coherence and elegant contrast with rose gold; vegetable-tanned calf leather for those who appreciate the natural patina evolution; NATO canvas in navy or grey for daily versatility. The choice depends on intended use and desired stylistic language.

Strap replacement on the Record L2.320.5.76.2 is performed via two spring bars positioned horizontally in the lugs. Use a dedicated spring bar tool to compress the bars and extract the worn strap. Insert the new bars into the replacement strap, ensure perfect alignment, and secure the new strap by compressing the spring bars into the lugs. Verify firm insertion before wearing the watch.

Yes, any strap manufactured for a 20mm lug width is compatible with the Record L2.320.5.76.2, provided your spring bars are in perfect condition. milanostraps.it produces 20mm certified compatible straps, customisable in leather, colour and stitching thread. The Casati Milano atelier creates bespoke versions with wrist-specific measurements and direct material selection.

Leather strap longevity depends on tanning method, usage patterns and climatic conditions. A well-maintained alligator strap lasts 4-6 years of daily wear; vegetable-tanned calf, softer, requires more frequent maintenance and averages 2-4 years. Avoid prolonged exposure to moisture and direct heat. Casati Milano offers an 18-month guarantee on artisanal straps, with restoration and replacement options available.
