How do I change the strap on the Longines Evidenza L2.142.4.06.2?

Strap replacement on the Longines Evidenza L2.142.4.06.2 is accomplished via spring bars positioned in the lugs. Using a dedicated tool, compress the lateral spring mechanism of the bar to extract it from its seat and enable strap exchange. Apply gradual pressure to avoid damaging the lugs or new strap.

How long does a leather strap last on a watch with an automatic movement like the Longines Evidenza L2.142.4.06.2?

An artisanal leather strap, such as those produced by Milan Straps, has an average lifespan of 3-5 years with daily wear. Longevity depends on tanning method (vegetable-tanned preferred), intensive use, ambient humidity, and cleaning frequency. Natural patina development over time evidences leather evolution, not functional deterioration.
