Strap for Royale Titane White / Rubber

The lug width of the Pequignet Royale Titane 9032713/30 is 20 millimetres. This measurement refers to the internal distance between the two lugs of the case. To verify it correctly, use a digital calliper positioned perpendicular to the watch's axis, measuring from the internal space of one lug to the other. Compatible straps must have a width of 20mm to sit properly without play or excessive tension.

The best strap depends on usage and context. For aesthetic coherence with French design, we recommend black or dark brown alligator in vegetable tanning, which creates material contrast with the titanium. If you seek practicality, a tactical NATO in ballistic nylon maintains the sportive identity and minimises total watch weight. For an intermediate style, cognac-coloured calf in vegetable tanning balances the astringency of titanium with organic warmth, developing a golden patina over time.

Strap replacement on this model is accomplished via classic spring bars. Using a dedicated tool or small flat lever, apply gentle downward pressure on the internal spring pin to release the lug from the case. Remove the old strap and insert the new one, aligning the lug hole with the pin. The spring mechanism should click closed automatically. Ensure the new strap is 20mm wide and that the pins are of correct length (typically 20.5mm for 20mm lug-width watches).

Yes, the Royale Titane 9032713/30 is fully compatible with 20mm aftermarket straps. Pequignet designed this model with standard lugs specifically to facilitate sourcing replacement straps. Ensure the strap is constructed from quality materials (genuine alligator, vegetable-tanned calf, ballistic nylon) and that thicknesses align with the case profile. A well-crafted strap significantly improves the watch's appearance and functionality.

A leather strap's lifespan depends on usage, tanning method, and maintenance. A quality vegetable-tanned calf strap lasts an average of 3–5 years with moderate daily wear (five to six days weekly). Alligator, owing to its naturally robust structure, may endure 4–7 years. Factors reducing durability include constant water exposure, acidic perspiration, and lack of maintenance. To extend strap life, remove the watch during intense aquatic activities, allow leather to air dry naturally after perspiration contact, and occasionally apply quality-specific leather conditioner.
