How to care for Longines leather watch straps?
Longines watches feature elegant designs, and many models use leather straps. However, leather straps are relatively complicated to maintain, so how should we care for Longines leather straps? Below, Xiao Ya introduces the methods for maintaining Longines leather watch straps for your reference.
Longines leather watch strap maintenance methods
1 Avoid contact with water and moisture to prevent mould and deformation.
2, avoid prolonged exposure to sunlight to prevent fading.
3, avoid contact with greasy substances and cosmetics to prevent deterioration.
4, if the strap accidentally gets wet, air dry it before wearing.
5, do not wear the watch while sleeping to allow the strap to rest.
6, leather hardens significantly in winter, so do not "reverse fold" it as this damages the material.
Precautions for Longines leather watch strap maintenance
1. When a strap develops an odour, use a toothbrush dipped in a little soapy water to quickly scrub the dirty areas, then wipe it clean with a slightly damp cloth. To prevent soapy water from seeping into the leather, the entire process should ideally be completed within 20 seconds. Additionally, you may apply leather oil to the strap, which provides a protective effect and ensures more thorough maintenance.
2. When a leather strap has been worn for a long time, besides developing an odour, hardening is also a common symptom. If the strap is frequently in a humid environment, it will accelerate the hardening process; sweat stains can also erode the leather, causing the strap to deform, harden, or even crack. Therefore, in addition to regular maintenance, avoid bending the strap when it has become hardened.
3. When putting on or taking off your watch, move slowly and gently, avoiding any forceful pulling or tugging. Once a crease has formed where the strap is frequently fastened, do not bend it backwards. Frequently rubbing the watch strap against hard objects like tabletops will accelerate surface wear and cause it to lose its lustre; this should be avoided as much as possible.
4. Try to wear the watch less during the summer and more during the winter. Especially before storing it for a long period, you can apply some colourless lanolin to the strap.
5. When wearing a leather strap, do not fasten it too tightly around your wrist; keep it moderately loose to reduce contact with the skin and erosion from sweat.
