Strap for Royale 300 Blue / Canvas

The lug width of the Pequignet Royale 300 9050473CN is 20 millimetres. This measurement represents the distance between the inner lugs where the strap attaches to the case. It is a standard determined by the proportion between the 43mm diameter and the overall architectural design of the model. Any aftermarket strap must respect this measurement precisely to ensure proper tension and case stability on the wrist.

For the Pequignet Royale 300, we recommend a strap in vegetable-tanned alligator with a dark brown tone, which engages naturally with the brushed stainless steel finish, creating an aesthetic synergy where both elements mature over time. Chromium-tanned calf leather represents a softer alternative with exceptional tactile quality, ideal for those prioritising daily wearing comfort. For sports use or humid environments, a dark grey rubber strap or fabric NATO offers practicality whilst maintaining design proportionality. The choice depends on intended usage and personal preference regarding aesthetic evolution.

The Pequignet Royale 300 9050473CN features integrated lugs, so changing the strap requires a dedicated spring bar remover tool to release tension and remove the retention springs. After photographing the original configuration, carefully remove the elastic shoulders from the lugs, then extract the old strap. Installation of the new strap follows the reverse procedure: insert the strap between the lugs and position the retention springs, verifying they are firmly anchored. If you are not experienced in this operation, we recommend consulting a professional watchmaker, also available at specialised ateliers such as Casati Milano.

Yes, any aftermarket strap with a 20-millimetre lug width is completely compatible with the Pequignet Royale 300 9050473CN, provided the strap is constructed to quality standards appropriate for a watch of this calibre. We recommend always verifying that the width is precisely 20mm and that the strap possesses adequate structural rigidity to support the case without excessive flexing. The artisanal straps from Milano Straps guarantee this compatibility and offer colour and texture customisations that expand the aesthetic possibilities of your Royale 300.

The lifespan of a leather strap on the Pequignet Royale 300 depends on the tanning method, usage patterns, and conscious care. A vegetable-tanned alligator strap, if subjected to moderate use (approximately 5-6 days weekly without prolonged water exposure), maintains structural integrity for 3-5 years, though visible patina evolves significantly after the first six months. A chromium-tanned calf strap offers slightly superior longevity, around 4-6 years, owing to the protective finish of the chromium plating. Frequent exposure to humidity, salty perspiration, and direct sunlight considerably shortens this estimate. Regular care with leather-specific oils and periodic rest of the strap in dry environments substantially extends longevity.
