Strap for Polerouter SAS Tribute White Gold / Blue / Bracelet

The lug width of the Universal Geneve Polerouter JU6910101C1J1 is precisely 19 mm (measured from centre to centre of the attachment pins). This dimension, typical of vintage 1950s models, is a well-established standard that accommodates any artisanal strap manufactured with a 19 mm lug width. It is essential to verify this measurement with a digital calliper before ordering an aftermarket strap, as even minor discrepancies can result in imprecise fitment.

To showcase the white gold case of the JU6910101C1J1, we recommend a dark brown alligator (burgundy, cognac, or mahogany) or a vegetable-tanned calf leather that develops a natural patina over time. These noble materials respect the luxury heritage of the piece and create aesthetic equilibrium with the precious metal. For daily wear, a grey or black cotton NATO offers versatility without compromising formal elegance.

Changing the strap on the JU6910101C1J1 requires a dedicated tool (springbar tool) to compress the attachment pins and slide the old strap out of the lugs. We recommend entrusting this procedure to a specialised watchmaker to avoid accidental scratches on the white gold case or damage to the delicate pins. The reverse procedure allows installation of the new strap once the original has been removed.

Yes, any strap with a 19 mm lug width is compatible with the JU6910101C1J1. Our artisanal straps in alligator, vegetable-tanned calf, NATO, and rubber have been tested and confirmed compatible. We recommend verifying that the strap is crafted from premium materials and that fitting is performed by a professional, particularly given the precious nature of the white gold case.

A quality leather strap (alligator or vegetable-tanned calf) intended for moderate use (4–5 days per week) has an average lifespan of 4–6 years. Vegetable-tanned leather typically lasts longer than chemically treated alternatives, especially with regular maintenance: gentle cleaning, drying after moisture exposure, and occasional conditioning with specialist oils. NATO and vulcanised rubber straps offer greater durability, lasting up to 8–10 years of continuous use.
