Strap for Record 40mm Stainless Steel / Pink Gold / Black-Diamond / Alligator

The lug width of the Longines Record L2.821.5.57.2 is 20 millimetres. This measurement is taken internally, from the point where the strap attaches on one lug to the opposite side. The 20mm width is proportionally designed to suit the 40mm case diameter, ensuring perfect visual balance and mechanical compatibility with any 20mm strap.

Alligator leather with vegetable tanning represents the most sophisticated choice for the Record, as its natural texture elegantly complements the steel and rose gold bicolour. Alternatively, vegetable-tanned calf leather offers versatility and durability, developing a noble patina over time. Shell cordovan is ideal for those who appreciate the conscious evolution of leather, whilst rubber or NATO fabric straps suit more casual wear.

Strap replacement on the Longines Record is accomplished by removing the spring bars (metal pins) that secure the strap to the case lugs. This operation requires a proper spring bar tool to prevent scratching the case. If you lack the tool or prefer professional assistance, Casati Milano offers replacement services with specialist personnel, ensuring maximum precision and case protection.

A natural leather strap with vegetable tanning, properly used and receiving minimal maintenance (occasional cleaning, protection from excessive humidity), typically lasts 3–5 years with regular wear. Longevity depends on frequency of use, climatic conditions, and whether the strap is rotated across multiple watches. Casati Milano provides an 18-month warranty on its straps and recommends periodic rotation to extend service life.
