Dark Blue Crocodile Strap for a Longines Dolcevita
The Longines Dolcevita is a rectangular Art Deco dress watch, elegant and restrained, and a dark blue crocodile strap suits it without going stark. This owner in Georgia had one built at 80/130mm, fitted to a buckle they already owned. Cut to length and finished to existing hardware, it was made to order.
Strap specifications
| Leather | Dark blue crocodile |
|---|---|
| Strap length | 80/130 mm (about 3.1/5.1 in) |
| Buckle width | 20 mm |
| Buckle | Customer's own (shipped without a buckle) |
| Spring bar | Regular, tool removal |
Why these choices
Dark blue is a softer alternative to black on a dress watch, more interesting but still formal, and it suits the Dolcevita's clean rectangular case. Crocodile adds the tile-grain texture that reads as refined up close, and it softens with wear to take a hand-rubbed patina, settling into the watch over time.
Because the customer reused their own buckle, the strap was finished at 20 mm to that hardware, with regular spring bars to match. The 80/130 mm length was cut to the wrist so the strap sits cleanly under the rectangular case.
★★★★★
“Very well made. I'd go so far as to say better than the original Alligator strap provided by Longines and massively less expensive. The quick release is also very good.”
