Strap for Royale 300 Black / Rubber

The lug width of the Pequignet Royale 300 9050443/30 is 20 millimetres. This measurement is standard for the model and allows the use of any aftermarket strap compatible with this dimension. To verify the lug width correctly, measure the distance between the two lugs from the inner point of the left lug to the inner point of the right lug; the result must be precisely 20mm.

For the Royale 300, we recommend three principal options based on use: an alligator aniline or vegetable-tanned calf strap for those desiring structured elegance and patina development over time; a NATO strap in heavy weave for daily versatility and ease of changing; a textured rubber strap for those seeking aesthetic modernity and versatility in matching. Your choice depends on the dial colour and frequency of use.

To change the strap on the Royale 300, use a spring bar removal tool to extract the bars connecting the strap to the lugs. Position the tool in the space between the lug and the strap, apply gentle pressure and slide the bar outward. Repeat on both sides, then insert the new strap by aligning the lug holes with the bars and press until it seats securely.

All available straps are ready for dispatch and customisable online according to your colour and material preferences.

The lifespan of a leather strap depends on the material and frequency of use. A quality artisanal alligator or vegetable-tanned calf strap typically lasts 3–5 years with daily use, developing a fascinating patina over time. Vegetable-tanned leather tends to age more elegantly due to natural tannins. A NATO strap, being robust nylon, has an extended lifespan of up to 7–8 years. Regular maintenance and alternating with other straps significantly extends overall lifespan.
