Trying a new strap for my Longines Heritage Chrono.
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 !

Yes,the chrono is nicely made from Longines.
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.
19/16 or 19/17?
Cartier, Montblanc or Omega would have these dimensions so it’s not fully impossible even to get ready made straps 😊👍🏻 Great choice 👏🏻👌🏻
It is a19/16 strap with the OEM from Longines being 19/17.
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 understand that…
Over the years the number of my watches with a 19mm strap rose to 5 or 6, which makes it a bit easier 😊👍🏻
Yes,these odd lug widths are very disturbing.
I have quite a few 20 mm straps that would be a good fit for the watch....
