Strap for Spirit Chronograph 42 Blue / Bracelet

The lug width of the Longines Spirit L3.820.4.93.6 is 22mm. This measurement is taken between the two pins that connect the strap to the case. The pins have a standard diameter of 1.8mm, ensuring compatibility with any 22mm aftermarket strap.

Your choice depends on use and personal taste. For a technical and versatile aesthetic, a premium NATO strap in midnight blue is ideal. For discrete elegance, choose an alligator or brown regenerated calf leather strap. A structured rubber strap emphasises sportiness, whilst vegetable-tanned leather in black or grey offers sobriety. Every choice should harmonise with the sunburst blue dial and the steel case.

Strap replacement is straightforward. Use a spring bar tool or small pressure spring to push the pins through the lateral case holes. The pins will come out easily. Remove the old strap, align the holes of the new strap with the case pins and press the pins until fully secured. Verify that the strap is symmetrically fastened on both sides.

Yes, 22mm aftermarket straps are completely compatible with the Longines Spirit L3.820.4.93.6. The connecting pins follow international standards, so any strap of the correct lug width fits perfectly. Milano Straps offers a wide range of 22mm straps, customisable in leather, NATO and technical materials.

Durability varies depending on leather quality and tanning method. A calf or alligator strap with vegetable tanning typically lasts 18–36 months with moderate daily use. Patina and wear marks are natural and increase charm. With proper care (avoid prolonged soaking and intense perspiration), longevity extends considerably. Milano Straps straps offer an 18-month warranty and maintenance support.
