Gerard (jlux) presents a compelling strap refresh for his Longines Heritage Chronograph, demonstrating how a thoughtful accessory choice can revitalize a beloved timepiece. His experience highlights the unique challenges and rewards of sourcing straps for watches with less common lug widths, a topic many collectors can relate to. This article explores Gerard's choice and the community's insights on navigating the 19mm strap market.

Quite pleased with the result : goat leather "avocado" .



This is my only watch with a 19mm spacing between the lugs : makes strap selection a bit more difficult !

Best,
Gerard

Cartier, Montblanc or Omega would have these dimensions so it’s not fully impossible even to get ready made straps πŸ˜ŠπŸ‘πŸ» Great choice πŸ‘πŸ»πŸ‘ŒπŸ»

Still a role model when it comes to vintage re-design. Although lately I have also seen watches in the same style from Lebois and Vulcain that are very tempting.

I never buy OEM straps as replacement : most are just crazily expensive!! My issue with 19mm is that I cannot use them on any other of my watches.

I have quite a few 20 mm straps that would be a good fit for the watch....

Over the years the number of my watches with a 19mm strap rose to 5 or 6, which makes it a bit easier πŸ˜ŠπŸ‘πŸ»
