Strap for Saint-Imier Date 26
Integrated attachment: measurements, the most common questions, and the way to a made-to-measure strap.
Lug width to be confirmed
On this Longines Saint Imier L2.263.4.87.2 the lug width doesn't convince me, and I don't want to give you a number I'm not sure about. Write to me on WhatsApp with the reference or a photo of the watch: I'll check it and tell you myself.
Frequently asked questions
How do I correctly change the strap on the Longines Saint Imier L2.263.4.87.2?
Remove the watch and place it on a soft surface. Using a strap changing tool or flat non-abrasive instrument, gently push the spring bar towards the case centre to release tension. Extract the spring bar completely and remove the old strap. Align the new strap's lugs and insert the spring bar, ensuring the hooks engage fully. Verify the strap is properly centred before wearing the watch.
How long does a leather strap last on the Longines Saint Imier L2.263.4.87.2?
A quality leather strap (alligator, calf, cordovan) typically lasts 3–5 years with daily use, depending on climate, care and intensity of wear. Cordovan is the most durable leather, with minimal wear and patina that improves aesthetically. Vegetable-tanned leather resists UV rays and humidity better. Protect the strap from stagnant water, perfumes and aggressive detergents. Rotating between two straps significantly extends the life of both. Luxury brands offer 18–24 month warranty on artisanal products.
