Strap for Royale 300 Orange / Canvas

The Pequignet Royale 300 9050343CN features a lug width of 20mm. This measurement represents the distance between the two outer lugs of the case where the strap is attached. To verify this dimension, use a digital calliper to measure the perpendicular distance between the two attachment points. A 20mm lug width provides access to a broad selection of aftermarket straps, both in leather and synthetic materials.

The Pequignet Royale 300 9050343CN, being a sporty-elegant timepiece, pairs exceptionally well with straps in alligator leather with vegetable tanning or shell cordovan. For a more versatile choice, fine-grained calf leather in dark brown or cognac tones ensures elegance without compromising practicality. For a more casual approach, NATO straps in heavy canvas or rubber straps with steel deployante offer durability and versatility. The choice depends on the use case: formal for alligator, versatile for calf, sporty for NATO.

Changing the strap on the 9050343CN requires a specific tool: a spring bar remover. Position the flat end of the tool beneath the elastic spring that holds the strap and gently push inward to release the pressure on the bar. Once the old strap is freed, insert the new one by sliding the elastic bar into the new attachment. The operation must be executed with care to avoid scratching the case. If you lack experience, it is advisable to consult a professional watchmaker.

Absolutely. Since the Pequignet Royale 300 9050343CN uses a 20mm lug width, it is fully compatible with any aftermarket strap of the same width. Milano Straps offers a curated selection of artisanal 20mm straps in alligator, cordovan, calf, NATO, and rubber, crafted with Italian tailoring and customisable according to your colour preferences. Compatibility is guaranteed by the standard lug width measurement.

A high-quality artisanal leather strap, if properly maintained, has a lifespan of between 5 to 10 years depending on the material and usage. Alligator leather with vegetable tanning tends to last longer, developing a natural protective patina over time. Shell cordovan, whilst being extremely robust, requires more careful maintenance as its surface is less resistant to humidity. Fine-grained calf leather wears more easily than noble leathers, but remains an economically sustainable choice. Durability can be extended by avoiding direct contact with water and perspiration, periodically applying a natural protectant, and storing the strap in dry environments.
