Strap for Rue Royale Moonphase Stainless Steel / Silver Guilloche / Black Alligator

The lug width of the Pequignet Rue Royale 9010437CN is 18mm. This measurement represents the distance between the two attachment pins integrated into the 42mm case and is the standard width for this model. Always ensure that any strap you purchase is compatible with this specific width to avoid installation issues.

For the Rue Royale 9010437CN, we recommend a strap in alligator with vegetable tanning or shell cordovan, as these materials enhance the Parisian elegance of the model and harmonise with its proportions. If you prefer versatility, a quality calf leather with deployante buckle satisfies both formal and casual contexts. For sports use, a silk or reinforced canvas NATO strap offers a functional alternative without aesthetic compromise.

To change the strap, use a spring bar removal tool or consult a qualified watchmaker. Position the tool under the spring bar, apply gentle upward pressure to compress the internal spring and slide the bar out of the lug. Repeat for the second bar. Insert the new bars into the strap and secure them to the case lugs until you hear a click. If uncertain, always entrust this task to a professional.

Yes, the Pequignet Rue Royale 9010437CN accepts any strap with an 18mm lug width. Artisanal aftermarket straps offer a wide choice of materials, finishes and colours compared to original straps, allowing you to personalise your timepiece. Always verify that the strap thickness is consistent with the case aesthetic (typically between 4mm and 5mm for this model).

The lifespan of a leather strap depends on material quality, daily use and environmental conditions. High-quality alligator or shell cordovan maintains integrity and patina for 3-5 years with regular wear. European calf leather has a similar lifespan if subjected to periodic maintenance. Exposure to moisture, perspiration and direct sunlight reduces longevity; conversely, rotating between multiple straps would extend useful life.
