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

The lug width of the Longines Record L2.320.5.76.7 is 20mm. This measurement determines compatibility with any strap or bracelet. Always verify the lug width with callipers before purchasing an aftermarket strap, as an incorrect measurement results in poor fitment on the case lugs.

Alligator in dark brown tone is the classic choice, as it enhances the warmth of rose gold. Alternatively, quality calf leather offers resilience and daily versatility, whilst shell cordovan develops a captivating aged patina over time. For informal wear, NATO fabric or vulcanised rubber complete the watch's versatility.

Strap removal requires a dedicated tool (spring bar tool or strap remover) to extract the pins securing the lugs to the case. Loosen the existing strap, position the tool beneath the spring, and gently push until the pin slides out completely. Insert the new strap and reinsert the pins by sliding the spring into the lateral slot. Verify that the case is centred on the strap before fastening.

Yes, provided the strap features a precisely calibrated 20mm lug width. Artisanal leather straps manufactured with precision ensure excellent fitment without stress on the lugs. We recommend confirming with the manufacturer that dimensions comply to the millimetre, especially for steel lugs.

Durability depends on leather type, frequency of wear, and maintenance. A quality alligator strap lasts 3–5 years with daily use; calf leather 2–4 years; shell cordovan 4–6 years thanks to its natural robustness. Prolonged exposure to sweat, moisture, and heat accelerates ageing. Regular maintenance (damp cloth cleaning, air-drying) extends longevity considerably.
