Strap for Royale Titane Black / Rubber

The lug width of the Pequignet Royale Titane 9032843 / 30 is 20mm. This measurement represents the distance between the two lugs where the strap attaches to the case. It is essential to verify this measurement precisely using a digital calliper, positioning the tool perpendicularly at the inner vertices of the lugs.

The ideal strap depends on your intended use and personal aesthetic preferences. For formal occasions, we recommend a black alligator with vegetable tanning, which amplifies the authority of the titanium case. For greater versatility, a white aniline calf with fine grain allows seamless transitions between formal and casual contexts, developing patina over time. For a more technical aesthetic, a NATO in neutral tones or premium FKM rubber emphasises the robust character of the watch.

To change the strap, position your watch on a stable surface with the case facing upwards. Use a dedicated strap removal tool or a wooden toothpick to gently push the spring bar inward. Once tension is released, the bar will retract, allowing you to remove the strap. Repeat this process on the opposite side, then insert the new strap, aligning it perfectly with the lug holes before pressing until you hear the attachment click.

Yes, it is entirely possible to use premium aftermarket straps. The important factor is ensuring the lug width is exactly 20mm. Handcrafted straps manufactured to specification by specialised suppliers, such as those available from Milano Straps, guarantee perfect compatibility, excellent constructive finishes and selected materials that do not compromise the integrity of the titanium case.

Durability depends on the material, tanning method and frequency of use. An alligator strap with vegetable tanning typically lasts 3-5 years with regular wear, developing patina over time. White aniline calf has a similar lifespan but requires greater maintenance (protection from moisture and stains). FKM rubber straps resist for 5-7 years, retaining elastic properties even after years of exposure to thermal variations. Rotating straps seasonally extends the life of each one.
