FAQ

What is the lug width of the Pequignet Rue Royale 9010243CN?

The lug width is 18mm. This dimension is determined by the proportions of the 42mm case and is specific to this model. Before purchasing a strap, always verify the distance between the lugs to ensure it measures exactly 18mm.

Which strap is ideal for the Pequignet Rue Royale 9010243CN?

An alligator strap in vegetable-tanned medium brown represents the most elegant choice, enhancing the Parisian character of the case. Alternatively, superior quality calf leather, dense NATO straps, or technologically advanced rubber offer versatility whilst maintaining aesthetic dignity.

How do you change the strap on a Pequignet watch?

Use a spring bar removal tool. Position the tool beneath the spring bar holding the strap to the case, apply gentle vertical pressure until the spring bar protrudes slightly, then remove the old strap and insert the new one. Operate cautiously to avoid scratching the case.

Is an aftermarket strap compatible with the Pequignet Rue Royale 9010243CN?

Yes, provided the strap has an exact 18mm lug width and thickness consistent with the original lug. High-quality aftermarket straps (alligator, calf, rubber) are entirely compatible and do not damage the watch if installed correctly.

How long does a leather strap last on a watch like the Pequignet?

An alligator or vegetable-tanned calf strap, subject to regular maintenance and responsible use, lasts 7–10 years. Protect from prolonged water exposure and periodically hydrate with specific oils. Technical rubber has slightly shorter longevity, 5–7 years, with minimal maintenance.
