FAQ
What is the exact lug width of the Pequignet Rue Royale 9010133CN?
The Pequignet Rue Royale 9010133CN features an 18mm lug width. This measurement represents the distance between the two spring bar attachments on the case and is essential for identifying compatible straps. The 18mm width was calculated by the French manufacture to maintain balanced aesthetic proportions between case and strap, avoiding visual under- or over-sizing.
Which strap is recommended for the Pequignet Rue Royale 9010133CN?
For the Rue Royale 9010133CN, premium leather straps are primarily recommended: alligator with vegetable tanning for maximum aesthetic sophistication, or calf leather with vegetable tanning for a balance between elegance and practicality. Alligator creates a geometric texture that dialogues with the case's facets, whilst calf leather offers plasticity that evolves over time. For more informal use, NATO canvas straps maintain the timepiece's formal rigour.
How do I change the strap on my Pequignet Rue Royale 9010133CN?
To change the strap on your 9010133CN, you must remove the spring bars using a dedicated tool (spring bar tool). Position the tool at the end of the pin, compress the internal spring slightly, and slide the pin downwards. Once extracted, the old strap will detach easily. Insert the new 18mm strap by aligning the holes with the pins and reposition the latter until an audible click is heard. If you lack experience, we recommend contacting a specialised service centre.
Can I use an aftermarket strap compatible with my Rue Royale 9010133CN?
Yes, the Pequignet Rue Royale 9010133CN is fully compatible with premium aftermarket straps measuring 18mm. Milano Straps offers a selection of handcrafted straps made from premium leather, vegetable-tanned leather, and technical fabrics, all tested to guarantee perfect fit on the case's original spring bars. It is essential to verify the 18mm measurement before purchase.
What is the average lifespan of a leather strap for the Pequignet Rue Royale 9010133CN?
A quality leather strap with vegetable tanning, such as those offered by Milano Straps for the 18mm lug width of the 9010133CN, has an average lifespan of 4-7 years with regular daily use. Longevity depends on factors such as frequency of use, exposure to moisture, perspiration, and periodic conditioning. Alligator leather tends to last longer than calf, due to its denser fibre structure. Appropriate maintenance with leather-specific balms extends the strap's lifespan significantly.
