Strap for Paris Royal Yellow Gold / Brown Strap

The Pequignet Paris Royal 9001438CG is fitted with a 20-millimetre lug width. This measurement is taken internally between the spring bar pins, shoulder to shoulder, and is the perfect standard for watches with a 41mm case diameter. Any replacement strap must respect this dimension to ensure effortless fitting and guaranteed mechanical compatibility.

For a Pequignet Paris Royal in yellow gold, alligator leather in cognac, medium brown, or tobacco tones is most recommended. These colours naturally dialogue with the warmth of solid gold without competing visually. Alternatively, vegetable-tanned calf leather develops a patina over time that creates a rare aesthetic symbiosis, enhancing vintage character. For formal occasions, black cordovan offers maximum contrast and superior longevity.

Replacement requires a specific tool: a spring bar remover. Position the watch with the lug facing you, insert the thin blade of the remover under the upper lug pin and gently lift until the internal spring releases. Repeat for the lower side. The new 20mm strap inserts by sliding the pins into their seats until you hear the locking click. This operation is best performed by a professional watchmaker if you lack experience.

All straps with 20mm lug width are mechanically compatible with the Pequignet Paris Royal 9001438CG. The offer includes alligator, calf, shell cordovan, nubuck leather, NATO textile in Mil-Spec version, FKM rubber, and silicone. Choice depends on use: full-grain leather for daily elegance, NATO for resistance and versatility, rubber for humid or diving environments. Compatibility is guaranteed by pin diameter and seat width.

Leather strap durability depends on tanning method and usage. Vegetable-tanned alligator lasts an average of 4–6 years with daily wear, developing a historical patina over time. Industrial calf has a lifespan of 3–4 years. Shell cordovan exceeds 7–8 years due to superior biological density. Factors that shorten lifespan are: prolonged sun exposure, moisture, salty perspiration, extreme temperatures. A dense NATO textile strap resists 5–8 years, while FKM rubber lasts up to 10 years. To maximise longevity, we recommend rotating use between 2–3 straps.
