FAQ
What is the lug width of the Longines Presence L4.905.1.11.7?
The lug width of the Longines Presence L4.905.1.11.7 is 20mm. This dimension is specific to this model and excludes standard mass-produced straps. To verify the measurement, use a digital calliper to measure the distance between the two spring bar lugs, positioning the calliper from shoulder to shoulder on the inside of the keeper.
Which strap is recommended for the Longines Presence L4.905.1.11.7?
For the Presence, the ideal strap is alligator (cognac brown or black) or shell cordovan for those seeking natural patina evolution over time. Alternatively, smooth calfskin offers formal versatility without compromise. All straps must be bespoke constructed with a 20mm lug width to ensure perfect fit to the lugs.
How do you change the strap on the Longines Presence L4.905.1.11.7?
The strap is changed using a spring bar removal tool. Position the tool in the slot between the spring bar and the lug, applying gentle downward pressure to extract the spring bar. Once removed, slide the old strap out of the lugs, then insert the new one, ensuring the spring bar engages correctly on both sides.
Is there an aftermarket strap compatible with the Longines Presence L4.905.1.11.7?
Yes, 20mm aftermarket straps are compatible with the Presence, but must be custom-made. Standard 18mm or 22mm straps will not fit. Milano Straps offers personalised leather straps with rapid dispatch, whilst Casati Milano creates bespoke solutions with an 18-month warranty.
How long does a leather strap last on the Longines Presence L4.905.1.11.7?
A quality leather strap (alligator, calfskin, shell cordovan) lasts approximately 4-6 years with moderate daily use. Longevity depends on the tanning method used: vegetable tanning extends durability and develops natural patina. Periodic conditioning with dedicated leather balm increases resistance over time, preventing cracking.
