Strap for Record 26mm Stainless Pink Gold / Blue / Alligator

The lug width is 18mm, measured internally between the case lugs. To verify, use a digital calliper positioned perpendicular to the strap attachment points. It is essential not to confuse this measurement with the case diameter (26mm): a common error that can result in ordering an incompatible strap.

For the Longines Record in rose gold, we recommend cognac-brown alligator or vegetable-tanned calf leather. Both materials emphasize the warmth of the case, develop patina over time, and guarantee comfort when wearing the watch daily. We advise against NATO or rubber to maintain aesthetic coherence with the case's value.

Use a spring bar tool to gently extract the small metal pins from the lugs. Work on a soft surface to avoid scratching the case. Insert the new strap by aligning the holes, then reinsert the spring bar (or use new ones if included with the strap). Verify that the strap is securely fixed before wearing the watch.

Any strap with an 18mm lug width is compatible with the L2.320.8.92.2. Online you will find options in alligator, calf, crocodile leather, shell cordovan and rubber, all available from specialised suppliers. Always verify that the strap has no integrated buckle to ensure the spring bar installs correctly.

Durability depends on material and usage. A quality alligator strap with vegetable tanning lasts on average 3-5 years with daily wear, developing natural patina. Calf leather has similar durability. If worn occasionally, the strap can last 7-10 years. Wear typically manifests first on the lug shoulders; Casati Milano offers an 18-month warranty and refurbishment services.
