The must-have Macro Loupe for all watch lovers

Iconic watch art prints. Made in Switzerland, lifetime guarantee

Pequignet is a French watch brand founded in 1973 in Morteau by &Eacute;mile P&eacute;quignet; after an early chapter shaped by jewelry-inflected design (the Moorea bracelet), the company set up a Haute Horlogerie lab in the 2000s, from which came French-made movements &mdash; Calibre Royal (2011), Calibre Royal Manuel (2018), Calibre Initial (2021) and, more recently, a tourbillon &mdash; that now underpin contemporary collections combining useful complications, clarity and a distinctly national identity.
<h3>Morteau 1973, Moorea 1984: a French storyline of design and know-how</h3>
Created by &Eacute;mile P&eacute;quignet in the Haut-Doubs, the brand has been anchored in Morteau from the outset &mdash; a cross-border watch basin &mdash; before signing, in 1984, the &ldquo;Moorea&rdquo; link, an articulated steel grain that became an emblem, and the Equus line (1987), reflecting the founder&rsquo;s passion for horsemanship, and these aesthetic milestones explain the brand&rsquo;s enduring blend of jeweller&rsquo;s vocabulary and purpose-built watches.
Over time the company pursued a broader industrial ambition: a managerial takeover in 2004 to build a manufacture, launch of the Calibre Royal in 2011, then a stabilising ownership relay (buy-out by four executives in 2017, followed by Enowe&rsquo;s involvement) to secure a French pipeline, and though shareholder details evolved, the constant has been a stated will to design and assemble in France.
Public recognition followed: the state &ldquo;Entreprise du Patrimoine Vivant&rdquo; (EPV) label in 2014, renewed in 2019 and 2025; own-name boutiques in Paris and Besan&ccedil;on; equipped e-commerce (EU shipping/returns) and structured after-sales, and this footprint makes access to a French take on Haute Horlogerie straightforward for buyers.
<h3>Calibre Royal: integrated architecture, big date, moon and 88 hours</h3>
The manufacture&rsquo;s cornerstone, the Calibre Royal, bundles a long power reserve (~88 h), a double-window big date and day display, a day/night indicator, a moon phase and, on some versions, a double UTC time zone into a movement conceived in Morteau, and this in-house integration aims for instant legibility and daily reliability rather than gratuitous show.
Beyond functions, development required 279 industrial drawings for a 318-component movement (316 proprietary parts), protected by multiple patents, with a large balance showcased through a sapphire back, and the brief openly champions &ldquo;unfussy Haute Horlogerie,&rdquo; advancing technique and clarity together.
Housed across steel, titanium or gold cases (Royale Paris, Royale Grand Sport, Royale Titane, Saphir editions), the Calibre Royal also spawned a hand-wound version (2018) and a recent flying tourbillon, widening the aesthetic spectrum without diluting the signature, and coherence stands out: shared dial grammar, clear displays, one pillar movement.
<h3>Calibre Initial and &ldquo;French movement&rdquo;: Attitude, short supply chain and 65 hours</h3>
Launched in 2021 to power the Attitude collection, the Calibre Initial brings bi-directional winding, a 65-hour reserve and a patented semi-instant date, with a tightly localised supply chain (components produced within ~80 km of Morteau, the majority made in France), and the goal is a robust, slim, easy-to-service daily movement.
Visually, the openworked rotor with the house fleur-de-lys appears on the back, while Attitude dials stay restrained (crisp hands, applied markers) so desk-to-play wear remains seamless; limited &Eacute;lys&eacute;e editions underline the brand&rsquo;s civic bent, and the three-word message is: French, readable, durable.
This &ldquo;French movement&rdquo; also flows into sportier (Extr&ecirc;me 300) or smaller 36 mm references, showing the platform adapts to varied sizes without losing its functional personality, and modularity remains guided by real-world use rather than a pile-on of complications.
<h3>Today&rsquo;s families: quick orientation by wear scenario</h3>
To navigate without getting lost, think in families, each covering a use case and wrist stance; the list below gathers landmarks in one or two points apiece, and the names follow the brand&rsquo;s current official taxonomy.
<ul>
<li>Pequignet Royale Paris &mdash; downsized to 39.5 mm in its 2025 update; big date, power reserve, vertical moon; contemporary city wear.&nbsp;</li>
<li>Pequignet Royale Saphir &mdash; translucent sapphire dial revealing the Calibre Royal; launched 2019 to spotlight the French movement.&nbsp;</li>
<li>Pequignet Royale Grand Sport &mdash; 44 mm, Royal&rsquo;s classic displays (PR, big date, moon) in a sportier shell.&nbsp;</li>
<li>Pequignet Royale Titane &mdash; light, tough, sport-tool codes with LumiNova indices.&nbsp;</li>
<li>Pequignet Extr&ecirc;me 300 &mdash; 300-m diver driven by the Calibre Royal; legibility with refined execution.</li>
<li>Pequignet Attitude &mdash; three-hand/date Calibre Initial (65 h, patented date); everyday urban wear.</li>
<li>Pequignet Concorde &mdash; contemporary line with French movement; broad range of sizes/colours.</li>
<li>Pequignet Moorea &mdash; heritage return of the icon bracelet (Moorea Vintage capsule).</li>
</ul>
<h3>Positioning, prices and distribution: French Haute Horlogerie, measured volumes</h3>
Published prices place the brand in the mid-to-upper segment: Attitude around &euro;2,800&ndash;3,500 depending on reference, Extr&ecirc;me 300 typically &euro;5,600, Royale Paris (39.5 mm) roughly &euro;5,300&ndash;8,500 by material/complications, with solid-gold or special pieces well above, and this scale reflects local manufacture, refined finishing and extended warranties.
Distribution blends the official site (instalments, EU returns, up to 5-year warranty by line) and own-name boutiques in Paris (Rue de Rennes) and Besan&ccedil;on, complemented by a small specialist network, and this short channel keeps a tight grip on client experience and lead-times.
Annual volumes aren&rsquo;t disclosed, yet the structure (HH lab in Morteau, local chain, EPV) and the breadth of the range suggest steady output paced by launches, with punctual limited runs (e.g., 2024 tricolour Royale Paris), and the audience spans discerning enthusiasts and buyers seeking a credible &ldquo;made in France&rdquo; proposition.
<h3>Conclusion</h3>
Pequignet fits wearers who want clear, French-conceived Haute Horlogerie powered by coherent in-house movements. The &ldquo;Royale&rdquo; families embody the complication-with-legibility DNA; Attitude bridges into everyday wear; Extr&ecirc;me 300 covers aquatic duty; Moorea ties back to heritage. Decide by use case, validate ergonomics and reading, then choose Royal vs Initial by your relationship to complications. To align these cues with lived ownership over time, a practical compass remains Dialicious customer reviews.

Pequignet Extr&ecirc;me 300 est une montre de plong&eacute;e contemporaine lanc&eacute;e en 2023, pens&eacute;e pour conjuguer usage quotidien et immersion jusqu&rsquo;&agrave; 300 m, avec une bo&icirc;te acier de 43 mm, une lisibilit&eacute; nette et un mouvement &agrave; longue autonomie (Calibre Royal).
<h3>Silhouette de plong&eacute;e : lunette Vulcamix, 300 m et lisibilit&eacute;</h3>
La signature visuelle de l&rsquo;Extr&ecirc;me 300 provient de sa lunette unidirectionnelle surmoul&eacute;e de caoutchouc Vulcamix&reg;, au relief franc qui offre une pr&eacute;hension s&ucirc;re en milieu humide. La capsule Billight&reg; en Luminova plac&eacute;e &agrave; 12 h sert de rep&egrave;re imm&eacute;diat pour le temps de plong&eacute;e, tandis que le cadran sport &agrave; niveaux b&eacute;n&eacute;ficie d&rsquo;index appliqu&eacute;s et d&rsquo;aiguilles trait&eacute;es BGW9 (luminescence bleue) pour une lecture claire dans la p&eacute;nombre. Le tout est prot&eacute;g&eacute; par un verre saphir et compl&eacute;t&eacute; par une &eacute;tanch&eacute;it&eacute; de 30 ATM/300 m, gage d&rsquo;une vraie pratique aquatique. Cette combinaison lunette Vulcamix&reg; + capsule &agrave; 12 h + traitement luminescent constitue la triade de lisibilit&eacute; et de s&eacute;curit&eacute; du mod&egrave;le.
<h3>Bo&icirc;tier, couronne &frac14; de tour et confort au quotidien</h3>
Le bo&icirc;tier acier (&asymp; 43 mm) affiche une alternance de surfaces polies et satin&eacute;es, une &eacute;paisseur d&rsquo;environ 15,1 mm et des cornes compactes pour favoriser la stabilit&eacute; au poignet. La couronne brevet&eacute;e au quart de tour simplifie le vissage/d&eacute;vissage, &eacute;vite les man&oelig;uvres longues et s&rsquo;accompagne du Lys royal index&eacute; ; selon versions, le fond peut &ecirc;tre plein (d&eacute;cor Fleur-de-Lys) ou transparent, et les bracelets au choix &ndash; Cordura textur&eacute; ou caoutchouc &ndash; assurent polyvalence et r&eacute;sistance &agrave; l&rsquo;eau. Au-del&agrave; du cahier des charges &ldquo;300 m&rdquo;, l&rsquo;ergonomie (cornes contenues, crantage de lunette, couronne &frac14; de tour) vise un port confortable sous une manche comme en week-end.
<h3>Calibre Royal : r&eacute;serve, architecture et ancrage fran&ccedil;ais</h3>
Au c&oelig;ur de l&rsquo;Extr&ecirc;me 300 bat le Calibre Royal&reg;, mouvement automatique con&ccedil;u et assembl&eacute; en France (Morteau), &agrave; grande r&eacute;serve de marche (&asymp; 88 h) et fr&eacute;quence de 21 600 A/h. L&rsquo;architecture privil&eacute;gie un grand barillet et une petite seconde &agrave; 3 h, avec indication de r&eacute;serve vers 8 h ; la masse oscillante ajour&eacute;e et le grand balancier &agrave; vis t&eacute;moignent d&rsquo;une recherche de stabilit&eacute; chronom&eacute;trique. La combinaison petite seconde + r&eacute;serve de marche lisible et autonomie d&rsquo;environ 88 h conf&egrave;re &agrave; l&rsquo;Extr&ecirc;me 300 un usage &ldquo;long cours&rdquo; rarement propos&eacute; sur une plongeuse.
<h3>Rep&egrave;res chronologiques et mod&egrave;les principaux (2015&ndash;2025)</h3>
(2015) Pequignet Royale 300 :
Premi&egrave;re grande plongeuse moderne de la Manufacture, la Pequignet Royale 300&nbsp;inaugure l&rsquo;ADN visuel aujourd&rsquo;hui perp&eacute;tu&eacute; par l&rsquo;Extr&ecirc;me 300 : lunette Vulcamix&reg; &agrave; capsule 12 h, petite seconde &agrave; 3 h, r&eacute;serve de marche &agrave; 8 h, couronne &frac14; de tour brevet&eacute;e. Orient&eacute;e &ldquo;outil chic&rdquo;, elle pose les bases d&rsquo;une lecture claire et d&rsquo;une &eacute;tanch&eacute;it&eacute; de 300 m, &agrave; une &eacute;poque o&ugrave; les plongeuses fran&ccedil;aises sont rares dans cette gamme. Cette &eacute;tape sert de tremplin &agrave; la consolidation du langage de design (index appliqu&eacute;s, cadran multi-niveaux) et &agrave; l&rsquo;industrialisation d&rsquo;une solution de couronne tr&egrave;s pratique. Elle acte l&rsquo;entr&eacute;e de Pequignet dans l&rsquo;univers des 300 m contemporaines, avec une signature imm&eacute;diatement identifiable.
Au fil des ann&eacute;es, la Pequignet Royale 300&nbsp;&eacute;volue par touches : ex&eacute;cutions de cadrans et d&rsquo;insert de lunette, finitions de bo&icirc;tier, combinaisons de bracelets. L&rsquo;objectif : conserver la robustesse fonctionnelle (&eacute;tanch&eacute;it&eacute; 300 m, lunette unidirectionnelle, couronne &frac14; de tour) tout en affinant la pr&eacute;sence au poignet et la qualit&eacute; per&ccedil;ue. Certains d&eacute;taillants soulignent alors le confort en usage urbain et la clart&eacute; du duo petite seconde/r&eacute;serve de marche, qui donnent &agrave; la montre un visage technique mais &eacute;pur&eacute;. Ces it&eacute;rations tardives stabilisent les codes qui feront le succ&egrave;s de l&rsquo;Extr&ecirc;me 300 quelques ann&eacute;es plus tard.
(2023) Pequignet Extr&ecirc;me 300 Lunette Orange :
La Pequignet Extr&ecirc;me 300 9050343 (lunette orange, cadran noir, options caoutchouc/Cordura, parfois couronne assortie) incarne le renouveau esth&eacute;tique de la collection : contraste fort, crantage marqu&eacute; de lunette et rep&egrave;res lumineux de grande surface pour une lisibilit&eacute; instantan&eacute;e. Le bo&icirc;tier acier 43 mm reste contenu, l&rsquo;&eacute;paisseur autour de 15,1 mm, et la couronne &frac14; de tour facilite les manipulations r&eacute;p&eacute;t&eacute;es. Le Calibre Royal&reg; apporte &asymp; 88 h d&rsquo;autonomie, petite seconde &agrave; 3 h et r&eacute;serve lisible &agrave; 8 h, de quoi couvrir plusieurs jours sans remontage. Cette r&eacute;f&eacute;rence &ldquo;orange&rdquo; assume l&rsquo;identit&eacute; plongeuse et la personnalit&eacute; visuelle la plus expressive de la ligne.
(2023) Pequignet Extr&ecirc;me Lunette Bleu :
Avec sa lunette bleue, la Pequignet Extr&ecirc;me 300 9051443 adopte un ton plus marin, polyvalent et discret au quotidien. Toujours sur base acier 43 mm, elle se distingue par des options de fond (plein ou transparent selon versions), la m&ecirc;me lisibilit&eacute; (index appliqu&eacute;s, BGW9) et l&rsquo;insert Vulcamix&reg; offrant grip et r&eacute;sistance. En semaine, le Cordura assoit la montre sous une manche ; le week-end, le caoutchouc l&rsquo;emporte pour l&rsquo;aisance et l&rsquo;&eacute;tanch&eacute;it&eacute;. La teinte bleue adoucit le contraste tout en conservant le langage fonctionnel d&rsquo;une plongeuse 300 m.
(2023) Pequignet Extr&ecirc;me Full Black :
La Pequignet Extr&ecirc;me 300 9050443 (lunette noire, cadran noir) est la plus sobre : elle capitalise sur un insert sombre pour maximiser la lisibilit&eacute; des volumes lumineux et la polyvalence vestimentaire. Elle partage l&rsquo;ensemble des attributs techniques (Vulcamix&reg;, capsule 12 h, couronne &frac14; de tour, 300 m) et reste un choix &ldquo;cam&eacute;l&eacute;on&rdquo; dont le style se module par les bracelets. Pour qui recherche la signature Extr&ecirc;me sans &eacute;clat chromatique, la 9050443 est la variante la plus passe-partout.
(2024) Pequignet Extr&ecirc;me 300 by Stef :
&Eacute;dition sp&eacute;ciale limit&eacute;e &agrave; 30 exemplaires, la <a href="https://bit.ly/4p1v3ez">Pequignet Extr&ecirc;me 300 by Stef</a> se singularise par un cadran bleu soleil intense et un bracelet Cordura bleu surpiqu&eacute; orange, distribu&eacute;e exclusivement par Bijouterie Clouzeau (France). Cette s&eacute;rie confirme la capacit&eacute; de la plateforme Extr&ecirc;me &agrave; accueillir des interpr&eacute;tations color&eacute;es sans sacrifier l&rsquo;ADN fonctionnel (Vulcamix&reg;, 300 m, &frac14; de tour, Calibre Royal). Elle illustre la dimension communautaire et locale, avec une ex&eacute;cution &agrave; la fois rare et imm&eacute;diatement reconnaissable.&nbsp;
<h3>Conseils de choix : taille, couleurs de lunette, bracelets et usages</h3>
&Agrave; 43 mm de diam&egrave;tre pour environ 15,1 mm d&rsquo;&eacute;paisseur, la pr&eacute;sence est assum&eacute;e mais contenue par des cornes compactes : essayez-la sous une chemise pour valider le passage de manche et le tomb&eacute; du bracelet. Si vous alternez bureau et sport, v&eacute;rifiez surtout la stabilit&eacute; de la t&ecirc;te de montre au poignet. L&rsquo;avis des autres clients est essentiel.
La lunette noire est la plus discr&egrave;te (tenue formelle, polyvalence maximale), la bleue incarne l&rsquo;esprit marin tout-terrain, l&rsquo;orange affirme une identit&eacute; plongeuse charismatique. Choisissez la couleur d&rsquo;insert d&rsquo;abord selon votre garde-robe et votre tol&eacute;rance au contraste. L&rsquo;avis des autres clients est essentiel.
Le Cordura apporte une tenue ferme et une texture &ldquo;outil&rdquo; tr&egrave;s lisible, tandis que le caoutchouc maximize confort et r&eacute;sistance &agrave; l&rsquo;eau lors des activit&eacute;s. Si vous nagez souvent, le caoutchouc sera g&eacute;n&eacute;ralement le compagnon le plus simple &agrave; rincer et &agrave; s&eacute;cher. L&rsquo;avis des autres clients est essentiel.
Pour un usage quotidien, la lecture est imm&eacute;diate gr&acirc;ce aux larges surfaces luminescentes (BGW9) et &agrave; la capsule 12 h ; en mer/week-end, l&rsquo;&eacute;tanch&eacute;it&eacute; 300 m et la couronne &frac14; de tour rendent les manipulations rapides. Pensez &agrave; v&eacute;rifier la rotation de lunette avec gants humides : le Vulcamix&reg; offre un grip utile. L&rsquo;avis des autres clients est essentiel.
La r&eacute;serve d&rsquo;environ 88 h (Calibre Royal) favorise la rotation de montres sans recourir syst&eacute;matiquement au remontoir. Si vous ne portez pas la montre tous les jours, cette autonomie facilite des cycles de 2&ndash;3 jours sans remise &agrave; l&rsquo;heure. L&rsquo;avis des autres clients est primordial.
<h3>Conclusion</h3>
Extr&ecirc;me au sens pratique, la Pequignet Extr&ecirc;me 300 s&rsquo;adresse &agrave; celles et ceux qui veulent une vraie 300 m au quotidien, identifiable par sa lunette Vulcamix&reg;, sa capsule &agrave; 12 h, sa couronne &frac14; de tour et l&rsquo;autonomie du Calibre Royal. Le choix des r&eacute;f&eacute;rences se fait surtout par la couleur de lunette (noire, bleue, orange) et le type de bracelet (Cordura pour la tenue, caoutchouc pour le confort), sans perdre de vue la pr&eacute;sence d&rsquo;une bo&icirc;te de 43 mm. Pour arbitrer, fiez-vous &agrave; l&rsquo;essai au poignet, &agrave; votre garde-robe et &agrave; les avis clients Dialicious pour croiser confort, lisibilit&eacute; et usage r&eacute;el.
(Mise &agrave; jour Septembre 2025)

Pequignet Extr&ecirc;me 300 is a contemporary dive watch launched in 2023, designed to blend everyday wear with 300-meter capability, a 43 mm steel case, crisp legibility and a long-autonomy movement (Calibre Royal).
<h3>Dive silhouette: Vulcamix bezel, 300 m and legibility</h3>
The Extr&ecirc;me 300&rsquo;s visual signature lies in its unidirectional bezel over-moulded in Vulcamix&reg; rubber, whose pronounced knurling ensures a secure grip in wet conditions. A Billight&reg; Luminova capsule at 12 o&rsquo;clock provides an immediate dive-time marker, while the multi-level sport dial uses applied markers and BGW9-treated hands (blue glow) for low-light clarity. A sapphire crystal completes the package, and the 30 ATM/300 m rating supports real aquatic use. This trio&mdash;Vulcamix&reg; bezel, 12 o&rsquo;clock capsule and broad luminous surfaces&mdash;anchors the model&rsquo;s safety and readability.
<h3>Case, quarter-turn crown and daily comfort</h3>
The steel case (&asymp; 43 mm) mixes polished and satin finishes, measures around 15.1 mm thick, and uses compact lugs for stability. Its patented quarter-turn crown speeds up screw-down operations and features the indexed Royal Lily; depending on the version, the back can be solid (Fleur-de-Lys decoration) or transparent, and Cordura or rubber straps complete the versatile setup. Beyond the &ldquo;300 m&rdquo; brief, the ergonomics (contained lugs, grippy bezel, quarter-turn crown) aim for comfort under a cuff as well as off-duty use.&nbsp;
<h3>Calibre Royal: reserve, architecture and French roots</h3>
Powering the Extr&ecirc;me 300 is the Calibre Royal&reg;, an automatic movement designed and assembled in France (Morteau), offering a long &asymp; 88-hour reserve at 21,600 vph. Its architecture favors a large barrel and a small seconds at 3 o&rsquo;clock, with a reserve-of-power display near 8 o&rsquo;clock; the openworked rotor and large screwed balance emphasize stability. The mix of small seconds + readable power-reserve and roughly 88 hours of autonomy makes this a &ldquo;long-haul&rdquo; diver uncommon in the segment.
<h3>Key dates and main models (2015&ndash;2025)</h3>
(2015) Pequignet Royale 300:
The Pequignet Royale 300&nbsp;marked the Manufacture&rsquo;s modern dive-watch debut, establishing the visual DNA later continued by the Extr&ecirc;me 300: Vulcamix&reg; bezel with a 12 o&rsquo;clock capsule, small seconds at 3, power reserve at 8, and a patented quarter-turn crown. Targeting a clean &ldquo;tool-meets-elegance&rdquo; aesthetic, it introduced 300 m water-resistance alongside multi-level dials and applied markers. It effectively opened Pequignet&rsquo;s chapter in contemporary 300 m divers with an immediately recognizable signature.
Over time, the Pequignet Royale 300 not disclosed evolved through dial/bezel executions, case finishing, and strap pairings&mdash;refining daily wear while keeping the functional core (300 m, unidirectional bezel, quarter-turn crown). Retailers highlighted the clarity of the small-seconds/power-reserve duo and the comfort under a shirt cuff. These late iterations consolidated the codes that would underpin the Extr&ecirc;me 300 a few years later.
(2023) Pequignet Extr&ecirc;me 300 oragne bezel:
The Pequignet Extr&ecirc;me 300 9050343 (orange bezel, black dial, rubber/Cordura options, sometimes matching orange crown) leads the line&rsquo;s expressive side: high contrast, assertive bezel knurling and generous luminous areas for instant reading. The steel case remains 43 mm with ~15.1 mm thickness, and the quarter-turn crown streamlines repeated operations. Calibre Royal&reg; adds &asymp; 88 hours, small seconds at 3 and a power reserve near 8, easily covering multi-day stints. This &ldquo;orange&rdquo; reference embraces a charismatic dive identity without sacrificing daily practicality.
(2023) Pequignet Extr&ecirc;me 300 blue bezel:
With its blue bezel, the Pequignet Extr&ecirc;me 300 9051443 delivers a more marine-toned, do-it-all personality. Still in 43 mm steel, it offers versions with solid or see-through backs, the same luminous clarity, and a Vulcamix&reg; insert that balances grip and resilience. Cordura works well Monday-to-Friday; rubber shines for water-centric weekends. The blue hue softens the contrast while preserving the 300 m diver&rsquo;s functional language.&nbsp;
(2024) Pequignet Extr&ecirc;me Full Black:
Seen at certain retailers, the Pequignet Extr&ecirc;me 300 9050443/30 keeps the all-black aesthetic while specifying strap pairings (often black Cordura with contrast stitching or rubber). Technically unchanged, it&rsquo;s the rotation-friendly, low-key member of the family&mdash;equally at ease in the office and by the water. The &ldquo;/30&rdquo; suffix reads as a commercial set designation (case/strap) rather than a technical overhaul.
<h3>Buying advice: size, bezel colors, straps and use cases</h3>
At 43 mm by about 15.1 mm, presence is assertive yet tempered by compact lugs; try it under a shirt cuff to check sleeve clearance and strap drape. If you switch between desk and sport, prioritize head stability on the wrist. Other customers&rsquo; opinions are essential.
Black bezel is the most discreet (formal wear, maximum versatility); blue is the all-round marine choice; orange broadcasts a charismatic diver&rsquo;s identity. Pick your insert color first by wardrobe and contrast tolerance. Other customers&rsquo; opinions are essential.
Cordura brings firm hold and a purposeful texture, while rubber maximizes comfort and water resistance for activity. If you swim often, rubber is generally the easiest to rinse and dry. Other customers&rsquo; opinions are essential.
For daily use, broad luminous areas (BGW9) and the 12-o&rsquo;clock capsule aid immediate reading; for weekends/sea, 300 m and the quarter-turn crown speed up handling. Check bezel rotation with wet gloves&mdash;the Vulcamix&reg; grip is a real asset. Other customers&rsquo; opinions are essential.
With roughly 88 hours in reserve (Calibre Royal), rotating watches is easier without constant use of a winder. If you don&rsquo;t wear it daily, that autonomy enables 2&ndash;3-day cycles without reset. Other customers&rsquo; opinions are essential.
<h3>Conclusion</h3>
Practical by design, the Extr&ecirc;me 300 targets those who want a true 300 m for everyday wear&mdash;identifiable by its Vulcamix&reg; bezel, 12-o&rsquo;clock capsule, quarter-turn crown and the Calibre Royal&rsquo;s autonomy. Choose references mainly by bezel color (black, blue, orange) and strap type (Cordura for hold, rubber for comfort), keeping in mind the 43 mm case presence. To decide, rely on a wrist-test, your wardrobe and Dialicious customer reviews to triangulate comfort, legibility and real-world use.
(Updated September 2025)

Pequignet Concorde est lanc&eacute;e en 2023 pour c&eacute;l&eacute;brer les 50 ans de la Maison, comme montre sport-chic fran&ccedil;aise &agrave; bracelet int&eacute;gr&eacute;, propos&eacute;e d&rsquo;embl&eacute;e en 36 et 40 mm (acier), puis d&eacute;clin&eacute;e en 30 mm (quartz) et en titane (36 mm). N&eacute;e d&rsquo;un dessin anguleux adouci rappelant les montres coussin des ann&eacute;es 1970, elle met en avant un maillage de bracelet en forme d&rsquo;ob&eacute;lisque et un mouvement automatique &laquo; maison &raquo; Calibre Initial visible par le fond saphir.
<h3>Signature visuelle : coussin contemporain, maillon &laquo; ob&eacute;lisque &raquo; et cadrans lumineux</h3>
Le bo&icirc;tier m&ecirc;le courbes et ar&ecirc;tes franches, rehauss&eacute; d&rsquo;une lunette finement bross&eacute;e et d&rsquo;un fond viss&eacute; d&eacute;voilant la m&eacute;canique ; le bracelet int&eacute;gr&eacute;, dont les maillons en &laquo; pointe de fl&egrave;che &raquo; &eacute;voquent l&rsquo;Ob&eacute;lisque de la place de la Concorde, inscrit la montre dans une identit&eacute; parisienne assum&eacute;e. Ce maillage exclusif &mdash; repris jusque dans la denture de la couronne &mdash; conf&egrave;re un caract&egrave;re imm&eacute;diatement reconnaissable sans verser dans l&rsquo;ostentatoire. Cadrans bleu marine, champagne, or ou rose animent la lumi&egrave;re, avec date &agrave; 3 h selon versions.
<h3>Acier ou titane, deux tailles et 100 m : une montre &laquo; de tous les jours &raquo;</h3>
En acier, la Concorde existe en 36 mm (~9,25 mm d&rsquo;&eacute;paisseur) et 40 mm (~9,45 mm), &eacute;tanche &agrave; 10 ATM (100 m), verre saphir antireflet et fond tenu par 6 vis ; la version titane 36 mm renforce la l&eacute;g&egrave;ret&eacute; (environ 84 g sur bracelet) tout en conservant 100 m d&rsquo;&eacute;tanch&eacute;it&eacute;. Ce cahier des charges pragmatique vise une pi&egrave;ce que l&rsquo;on porte sans y penser, du bureau au week-end. L&rsquo;ergonomie (cornes int&eacute;gr&eacute;es, maillons souples) sert le confort : elle glisse bien sous une manche et garde une pr&eacute;sence nette au poignet.
<h3>Calibre Initial : 65 h d&rsquo;autonomie, 4 Hz et ancrage territorial</h3>
Le c&oelig;ur de la Concorde est le Calibre Initial&reg;, automatique 4 Hz, 21 rubis, stop-seconde, remontage bidirectionnel et r&eacute;serve de marche d&rsquo;environ 65 h ; masse ajour&eacute;e d&eacute;cor&eacute;e, ouverture sur mouvement par fond saphir. 72 % des composants sont fran&ccedil;ais et l&rsquo;ensemble est sourc&eacute; dans un rayon d&rsquo;environ 80 km autour de Morteau, l&rsquo;assemblage &eacute;tant r&eacute;alis&eacute; en France ; le traitement ruth&eacute;nium et le microbillage de certaines finitions soulignent l&rsquo;esth&eacute;tique technique. Une date semi-instantan&eacute;e brevet&eacute;e, &agrave; 3 h, appara&icirc;t sur plusieurs r&eacute;f&eacute;rences.
<h3>Dates fondatrices et mod&egrave;les principaux (2023&ndash;2025)</h3>
(2023) Pequignet Concorde 36 mm Calibre Initial :
Premier format, pens&eacute; pour une &eacute;l&eacute;gance compacte : bo&icirc;tier acier 36 mm (~9,25 mm), 100 m, saphir recto-verso (fond 6 vis), bracelet int&eacute;gr&eacute; &laquo; ob&eacute;lisque &raquo; exclusif et cadrans profonds (bleu, champagne, or, rose). La date semi-instantan&eacute;e &agrave; 3 h (selon versions) reste discr&egrave;te et pratique. Ce 36 mm cible le confort au long cours et une pr&eacute;sence mesur&eacute;e, avec un angle sport-chic assum&eacute;. La m&eacute;canique (Calibre Initial 65 h) se d&eacute;voile par le fond ; on retrouve le logo Fleur-de-Lys sur la masse oscillante et une lisibilit&eacute; soign&eacute;e au quotidien.
(2023) Pequignet Concorde 40 mm Calibre Initial :
Variation plus pr&eacute;sente au poignet : acier 40 mm (~9,45 mm), 100 m, m&ecirc;me architecture de fond et de bracelet, cadrans lumineux et transitions bross&eacute;/poli nettes. Le 40 mm conserve la finesse per&ccedil;ue de la ligne mais gagne en &laquo; ouverture &raquo; de cadran, utile si l&rsquo;on pr&eacute;f&egrave;re une lecture plus a&eacute;r&eacute;e. Identit&eacute; fran&ccedil;aise appuy&eacute;e par le maillage ob&eacute;lisque et la fabrication locale du mouvement ; m&ecirc;me autonomie d&rsquo;environ 65 h et m&ecirc;me facilit&eacute; d&rsquo;usage (stop-seconde, remontage bidirectionnel).
(2023) Pequignet Concorde 30 mm (Quartz) :
Destin&eacute;e aux poignets tr&egrave;s fins et aux usages &laquo; sans contrainte &raquo; de remontage, la 30 mm adopte un mouvement quartz fiable, bo&icirc;tier acier &eacute;tanche 100 m et le m&ecirc;me dessin de bracelet int&eacute;gr&eacute;. Elle conserve l&rsquo;esth&eacute;tique Concorde dans un gabarit tr&egrave;s facile &agrave; vivre, id&eacute;al comme montre-bijou du quotidien avec une pr&eacute;cision sans entretien entre deux changements de pile. Les cadrans (dont rose) prolongent le registre sport-chic, avec maillon ob&eacute;lisque qui signe la collection.
(2023) Pequignet Concorde &laquo; Imperial Green &raquo; 36 mm :
Teinte embl&eacute;matique de lancement, le vert profond souligne les reliefs du cadran et des chanfreins, tout en dialoguant avec le bracelet ob&eacute;lisque. 36 mm, 100 m, Calibre Initial 65 h, fond saphir 6 vis : la fiche technique reste fid&egrave;le &agrave; la plateforme. Le contraste vert/acier donne une personnalit&eacute; marqu&eacute;e mais portable au bureau, s&eacute;duisant les amateurs de couleurs sobres qui changent de l&rsquo;habituelle palette bleu/noir.
(2024) Pequignet Concorde 36 mm Or/Acier (cadrans or &amp; champagne) :
Ces variantes jouent la carte d&rsquo;une lumi&egrave;re chaude et d&rsquo;un rendu plus habill&eacute;, tout en gardant la polyvalence 100 m, l&rsquo;ergonomie du bracelet et la tranquilit&eacute; d&rsquo;un mouvement automatique long-cours. Le cadran or ou champagne apporte un &eacute;clat chic sans perdre la lisibilit&eacute;, la date restant discr&egrave;te. Id&eacute;ales si l&rsquo;on souhaite une Concorde qui s&rsquo;accorde naturellement avec des tenues formelles sans rompre l&rsquo;esprit sport-chic.
(2024) Pequignet Concorde 36 mm/40 mm Lunette sertie (s&eacute;lection) :
Certaines r&eacute;f&eacute;rences ajoutent un serti de lunette pour une expression plus bijouti&egrave;re ; la base technique demeure (Calibre Initial, 100 m, fond saphir). Le serti renforce l&rsquo;&eacute;clat sans alt&eacute;rer l&rsquo;ADN de dessin ni la facilit&eacute; d&rsquo;usage : une option de personnalisation pour qui veut un accent pr&eacute;cieux dans un cadre sport-chic.
(2025) Pequignet Concorde Titanium 36 mm :
Nouvelle ex&eacute;cution en titane (Grade 5), 36 mm x ~9,25 mm, 100 m, environ 84 g bracelet inclus, Calibre Initial au traitement ruth&eacute;nium et finitions microbill&eacute;es pour un look monochrome. Le gain de masse amplifie la sensation &laquo; seconde peau &raquo; sans renoncer au caract&egrave;re du maillage ob&eacute;lisque. C&rsquo;est la version la plus technique et la plus l&eacute;g&egrave;re, pens&eacute;e pour un port&eacute; intensif et un confort maximal.
<h3>Conclusion</h3>
Concorde condense un style fran&ccedil;ais lisible et contemporain : bo&icirc;tier coussin rac&eacute;, bracelet int&eacute;gr&eacute; sign&eacute;, 100 m et un mouvement automatique ancr&eacute; localement, avec une version titane pour gagner en l&eacute;g&egrave;ret&eacute;. On la choisit pour sa facilit&eacute; d&rsquo;usage, sa personnalit&eacute; sans ostentation et sa capacit&eacute; &agrave; passer du bureau au week-end. Pour trancher entre tailles, mati&egrave;res et teintes, fiez-vous &agrave; l&rsquo;essai r&eacute;el et aux retours d&rsquo;usage : pour d&eacute;passer la fiche technique, rien ne remplace les avis clients Dialicious.
(Mise &agrave; jour Septembre 2025)

Pequignet Concorde was launched in 2023 to mark the brand&rsquo;s 50th anniversary, as a French sport-chic watch with an integrated bracelet, debuting in 36 and 40 mm steel, later joined by a 30 mm quartz model and a 36 mm titanium version. Born from a sharp-edged, softened cushion shape with a signature obelisk-link bracelet, it houses the in-house automatic Calibre Initial displayed through a sapphire back.
<h3>Visual signature: contemporary cushion, &ldquo;obelisk&rdquo; links and lively dials</h3>
The case mixes curves and crisp lines, with a finely brushed bezel and a screwed sapphire back; the integrated bracelet&rsquo;s spearhead links echo Paris&rsquo;s Place de la Concorde obelisk and even inspire the crown&rsquo;s teeth. This exclusive mesh makes the watch instantly recognizable without becoming showy. Navy blue, champagne, gold and pink dials play with light, and a discreet 3 o&rsquo;clock date appears on several versions.
<h3>Steel or titanium, two sizes and 100 m: an everyday companion</h3>
In steel, Concorde comes in 36 mm (~9.25 mm thick) and 40 mm (~9.45 mm), water-resistant to 10 ATM (100 m), with AR sapphire and a six-screw display back; the 36 mm titanium model enhances lightness (about 84 g on bracelet) while retaining 100 m. The spec is deliberately practical so you can wear it from desk to weekend without thinking. Ergonomics (integrated lugs, supple links) support comfort: it slides under a cuff yet keeps a crisp wrist presence.
<h3>Calibre Initial: 65 hours, 4 Hz and local sourcing</h3>
Inside is the Calibre Initial&reg;, automatic 4 Hz, 21 jewels, hacking seconds, bi-directional winding and around 65 hours of power reserve; an openworked rotor and a sapphire back showcase the mechanics. According to the brand, 72% of components are French and all parts are sourced within roughly 80 km of Morteau, with assembly in France; ruthenium treatment and sandblasted textures appear on some finishes. A patented semi-instant date at 3 o&rsquo;clock features on several references.
<h3>Timeline anchors and principal models (2023&ndash;2025)</h3>
(2023) Pequignet Concorde 36 mm Calibre Initial:
The compact, dress-leaning take: 36 mm steel (~9.25 mm), 100 m, AR sapphire front/back (six-screw caseback), exclusive obelisk bracelet and rich dials (blue, champagne, gold, pink). The 3 o&rsquo;clock semi-instant date (selected versions) stays discreet and useful. This 36 mm aims for all-day comfort with a clearly sport-chic personality. The 65-hour Initial calibre appears under the sapphire, with Fleur-de-Lys rotor detailing and easy day-to-day legibility.
(2023) Pequignet Concorde 40 mm Calibre Initial:
More wrist presence in steel: 40 mm (~9.45 mm), 100 m, the same caseback/bracelet architecture, luminous dials and clean brushed-polished transitions. The 40 mm keeps the family&rsquo;s slim feel but increases dial &ldquo;openness&rdquo;, handy if you prefer airier reading. The French identity is reinforced by the obelisk mesh and local movement sourcing; the spec remains ~65 h autonomy with stop-seconds and bi-directional winding.&nbsp;
(2023) Pequignet Concorde 30 mm (Quartz):
For very slim wrists and zero-fuss ownership, the 30 mm opts for a dependable quartz movement, 100 m water-resistance and the same integrated bracelet design. It keeps Concorde&rsquo;s aesthetics in a truly easygoing footprint, ideal as an everyday jewelry-leaning piece with set-and-forget precision between battery changes. Dial options (including pink) extend the sport-chic vibe, with the signature obelisk link sealing the collection&rsquo;s look.
(2023) Pequignet Concorde &ldquo;Imperial Green&rdquo; 36 mm:
An emblematic launch tone, deep green highlights the dial relief and case facets while playing off the obelisk bracelet. Specs stay true to the platform: 36 mm, 100 m, 65-hour Initial calibre, six-screw sapphire back. The green/steel contrast yields a characterful yet office-friendly presence for wearers who want colour beyond the usual blue/black.
(2024) Pequignet Concorde 36 mm Steel/Gold-tone dials (gold &amp; champagne):
Warm, dressier-leaning dials with the same 100 m practicality, bracelet ergonomics and long-running automatic movement. Gold or champagne adds chic glow without sacrificing legibility, with a discreet date where fitted. A natural pick if you want a Concorde that pairs easily with formal wear while preserving sport-chic DNA.
(2024) Pequignet Concorde 36/40 mm Diamond-set bezel (selection):
Certain references bring a gem-set bezel for a more jewellery-like expression; the technical base remains (Initial calibre, 100 m, sapphire back). The setting increases sparkle without altering the core design or ease of use&mdash;a customization path for those wanting a precious accent in a sport-chic frame.
(2025) Pequignet Concorde Titanium 36 mm:
The latest, lighter execution in titanium (Grade 5), 36 mm x ~9.25 mm, 100 m, around 84 g including bracelet, with the Initial calibre featuring ruthenium treatment and sandblasted finishes for a monochrome look. The mass reduction enhances &ldquo;second-skin&rdquo; comfort without diluting the obelisk-mesh character. This is the most technical and lightweight Concorde, intended for intensive wear and maximum comfort.
<h3>Conclusion</h3>
Concorde concentrates a readable, contemporary French style: a sharp cushion case, a signature integrated bracelet, 100 m practicality and a locally rooted automatic movement, with a titanium option for extra lightness. It&rsquo;s chosen for ease, personality without ostentation and seamless desk-to-weekend wear. To decide between sizes, materials and shades, rely on real-world try-on and user feedback; beyond specs, nothing beats Dialicious customer reviews.

Pequignet Royale Manuelle est une montre m&eacute;canique &agrave; remontage manuel lanc&eacute;e en 2017, pens&eacute;e comme l&rsquo;expression la plus &eacute;pur&eacute;e de la collection Royale : un bo&icirc;tier acier de 42 mm, une petite seconde &agrave; 6 h, une &eacute;tanch&eacute;it&eacute; de 10 ATM et le Calibre Royal Manuel offrant environ 100 heures d&rsquo;autonomie.
<h3>&Eacute;pure urbaine : 42 mm, petite seconde &agrave; 6 h et cadrans opalin/soleill&eacute;</h3>
La Royale Manuelle se distingue par un cadran tr&egrave;s lisible d&eacute;clin&eacute; en opalin blanc ou argent&eacute; soleill&eacute;, deux aiguilles Dauphine polies et une petite seconde &agrave; 6 h qui donnent au mod&egrave;le un rythme visuel sobre et &eacute;quilibr&eacute; ; le tout est prot&eacute;g&eacute; par un verre saphir et log&eacute; dans un bo&icirc;tier de 42 mm pens&eacute; pour une montre &laquo; de tous les jours &raquo; capable d&rsquo;assumer la majorit&eacute; des contextes. Ce choix d&rsquo;affichage r&eacute;duit (heures/minutes + petite seconde) privil&eacute;gie la clart&eacute; et la pr&eacute;sence discr&egrave;te d&rsquo;une m&eacute;canique longue r&eacute;serve.
<h3>Bo&icirc;tier, fond saphir et confort au quotidien</h3>
Usin&eacute;e en acier poli, la bo&icirc;te affiche 12,3 mm d&rsquo;&eacute;paisseur environ, une couronne sign&eacute;e (Fleur de Lys) et un fond maintenu par six vis offrant une large ouverture saphir sur le mouvement ; l&rsquo;&eacute;tanch&eacute;it&eacute; de 10 ATM ajoute une vraie tol&eacute;rance &agrave; l&rsquo;usage quotidien, tandis que les bracelets (cuir, alligator, boucles ardillon ou d&eacute;ployante) permettent d&rsquo;ajuster le degr&eacute; de formalit&eacute;. La combinaison &ldquo;42 mm / 12,3 mm / fond saphir / 10 ATM&rdquo; vise un confort r&eacute;aliste, de la chemise &agrave; un usage dynamique sans exc&egrave;s.
<h3>Calibre Royal Manuel : 100 h de r&eacute;serve et ancrage fran&ccedil;ais</h3>
Au c&oelig;ur du mod&egrave;le, le Calibre Royal Manuel (21 600 A/h, 21 rubis) est une d&eacute;clinaison main de l&rsquo;architecture Royal d&eacute;velopp&eacute;e et assembl&eacute;e en France &agrave; Morteau ; il met en avant un grand barillet et une r&eacute;serve d&rsquo;environ 100 heures, d&eacute;livr&eacute;e via une cin&eacute;matique pens&eacute;e pour la stabilit&eacute;, visible c&ocirc;t&eacute; fond gr&acirc;ce &agrave; l&rsquo;ouverture saphir. Le parti pris &ldquo;remontage manuel + ~100 h&rdquo; permet de vivre un rapport plus direct au geste tout en espa&ccedil;ant significativement les remontages.
<h3>Rep&egrave;res chronologiques et mod&egrave;les principaux (2011&ndash;2025)</h3>
(2011) Pequignet Royale Origine :
Avec la <a href="https://www.dialicious.com/pequignet/royale_origine">Pequignet Royale Origine</a> anim&eacute;e par le Calibre Royal automatique, Pequignet fixe l&rsquo;ADN d&rsquo;une collection destin&eacute;e &agrave; magnifier un calibre maison con&ccedil;u et assembl&eacute; en France : grande autonomie, affichages int&eacute;gr&eacute;s dans la platine et volont&eacute; de proposer une &ldquo;haute horlogerie d&eacute;complex&eacute;e&rdquo; &agrave; la fran&ccedil;aise. Ce jalon explique la filiation esth&eacute;tique et technique de la Royale Manuelle, qui reprendra plus tard ce langage dans une version &eacute;pur&eacute;e centr&eacute;e sur l&rsquo;essentiel.&nbsp;La famille Royale se positionne alors comme la vitrine du Calibre Royal et de son architecture identifiable.
(2017) Pequignet Royale Manuelle&nbsp; :
La naissance du Calibre Royal Manuel (2017) s&rsquo;accompagne de r&eacute;f&eacute;rences &ldquo;Royale Manuelle&rdquo; mettant &agrave; l&rsquo;honneur une lecture &agrave; deux aiguilles avec petite seconde ; l&rsquo;objectif est de concentrer l&rsquo;exp&eacute;rience autour du remontage et d&rsquo;une grande autonomie, dans une bo&icirc;te de 42 mm partageant les codes de la ligne. Ce lancement marque le retour en gr&acirc;ce des montres manuelles fran&ccedil;aises dans l&rsquo;offre de la Manufacture et ouvre la voie aux ex&eacute;cutions opaline et argent&eacute;e. La Royale Manuelle devient l&rsquo;entr&eacute;e la plus pure dans l&rsquo;univers du Calibre Royal.
(2018) Pequignet Royale Manuelle Cadran Soleill&eacute; :
Ex&eacute;cution &agrave; cadran argent&eacute; soleill&eacute;, la Pequignet Royale Manuelle 9080433 confirme la pertinence du format 42 mm avec fond saphir et 10 ATM, tout en jouant la carte d&rsquo;une lumi&egrave;re sophistiqu&eacute;e au poignet ; la petite seconde &agrave; 6 h &eacute;quilibre le cadran et souligne la vocation &ldquo;urbaine chic&rdquo; du mod&egrave;le. La montre appara&icirc;t en circulation sur le march&eacute; d&egrave;s 2018, consolidant la visibilit&eacute; de la gamme manuelle au sein de la collection Royale.&nbsp;
(2023) Pequignet Royale Cadran Opalin :
Le mod&egrave;le cadran opalin, visible au catalogue officiel avec multiples options de boucles et de tailles de bracelet, assoit le positionnement tarifaire autour de 3 600 &euro; TTC et confirme le socle technique (42 mm, fond saphir viss&eacute; par six vis, 10 ATM, 100 h). Dans un contexte de mont&eacute;e en gamme des propositions fran&ccedil;aises, il r&eacute;pond &agrave; la demande d&rsquo;une montre simple, bien finie, dot&eacute;e d&rsquo;un calibre national. Cette continuit&eacute; produit consolide la Royale Manuelle comme pilier &ldquo;classique&rdquo; de l&rsquo;offre manufacture.
(2025) Pequignet Royale Paris 39,5 mm :
Bien que distincte de la Manuelle, la Royale Paris 39,5 mm rappelle la vitalit&eacute; de la famille Royale en 2025, avec des complications de grande date, lune et r&eacute;serve sur Calibre Royal ; elle illustre l&rsquo;extension de la collection vers des diam&egrave;tres plus contenus et des visages plus &ldquo;grand complication&rdquo;, en regard de l&rsquo;approche &eacute;pur&eacute;e de la Manuelle. La coexistence de ces branches montre l&rsquo;ampleur de la plateforme Royale et son adaptabilit&eacute; aux usages.
<h3>Conseils de choix : taille, cadrans, bracelets et usages</h3>
&Agrave; 42 mm de diam&egrave;tre pour 12,3 mm d&rsquo;&eacute;paisseur, on est sur une pr&eacute;sence assum&eacute;e mais tout &agrave; fait portable au quotidien ; essayez-la sous une manche pour valider le passage et la tenue du bo&icirc;tier au poignet selon votre morphologie. Si vous alternez bureau et sorties, visez un r&eacute;glage de bracelet qui limite la bascule lat&eacute;rale. L&rsquo;avis des autres clients est essentiel.
Le cadran opalin blanc donnera un rendu plus &ldquo;neutre et lumineux&rdquo;, tandis que l&rsquo;argent&eacute; soleill&eacute; joue davantage avec la lumi&egrave;re et les reflets ; les aiguilles polies restent lisibles dans les deux cas. Choisissez le cadran d&rsquo;abord selon votre environnement de lumi&egrave;re et votre garde-robe. L&rsquo;avis des autres clients est essentiel.
En bracelets, l&rsquo;alligator renforce l&rsquo;allure habill&eacute;e et la tenue, quand le cuir lisse est plus discret et facile &agrave; porter ; la boucle d&eacute;ployante facilitera les manipulations fr&eacute;quentes. Si vous portez la montre tous les jours, une d&eacute;ployante r&eacute;duit l&rsquo;usure du cuir et am&eacute;liore le confort. L&rsquo;avis des autres clients est essentiel.
Le remontage manuel cr&eacute;e un rituel : &agrave; 100 h d&rsquo;autonomie environ, vous pouvez remonter tous les deux &agrave; trois jours sans contrainte ; v&eacute;rifiez simplement la sensation de fin de course. Si vous alternez plusieurs montres, cette r&eacute;serve prolonge les p&eacute;riodes sans remise &agrave; l&rsquo;heure. L&rsquo;avis des autres clients est essentiel.
L&rsquo;&eacute;tanch&eacute;it&eacute; 10 ATM apporte une marge utile (pluie, lavages de mains, bains calmes), mais on &eacute;vite les activit&eacute;s aquatiques intenses ; le fond saphir invite &agrave; l&rsquo;observation du balancier. Consid&eacute;rez la Royale Manuelle comme une &ldquo;sport-chic&rdquo; raisonn&eacute;e plut&ocirc;t qu&rsquo;une montre de sport &agrave; malmener. L&rsquo;avis des autres clients &eacute;tant essentiel.
<h3>Conclusion</h3>
Classique sans &ecirc;tre fig&eacute;e, la Royale Manuelle s&rsquo;adresse &agrave; celles et ceux qui veulent une montre fran&ccedil;aise de caract&egrave;re, fid&egrave;le &agrave; l&rsquo;esth&eacute;tique Royale mais ramen&eacute;e &agrave; l&rsquo;essentiel : heures, minutes, petite seconde, beau mouvement manuel et autonomie g&eacute;n&eacute;reuse. La d&eacute;cision se joue entre deux visages de lumi&egrave;re (opalin vs soleill&eacute;), le confort du bracelet et votre tol&eacute;rance &agrave; 42 mm. Pour trancher, fiez-vous &agrave; l&rsquo;essai, au contexte d&rsquo;usage et &agrave; les avis clients Dialicious pour croiser confort, lisibilit&eacute; et plaisir au quotidien.
(Mise &agrave; jour Septembre 2025)

Pequignet Royale Manuelle is a hand-wound mechanical watch launched in 2017, conceived as the purest expression of the Royale collection: a 42 mm steel case, small seconds at 6 o&rsquo;clock, 10 ATM water resistance and the Calibre Royal Manual with roughly 100 hours of autonomy.&nbsp;
<h3>Urban purity: 42 mm, small seconds at 6 and opaline/sunray dials</h3>
The Royale Manuelle stands out with a highly legible dial&mdash;either white opaline or sunray silver&mdash;polished Dauphine hands and a 6 o&rsquo;clock small seconds that bring balanced, understated poise; a sapphire crystal tops the 42 mm case for everyday wearability. This pared-back display (hours/minutes + small seconds) emphasizes clarity and the discreet character of a long-reserve hand-wound calibre.
<h3>Case, sapphire back and daily comfort</h3>
In polished steel, the case is about 12.3 mm thick, with a signed crown (Royal Lily) and a six-screw back opening wide onto the movement; 10 ATM water resistance adds real-life tolerance, while strap options (leather/alligator, ardillon or folding clasps) fine-tune formality and comfort. The &ldquo;42 mm / 12.3 mm / sapphire back / 10 ATM&rdquo; combo aims for realistic comfort from office hours to relaxed evenings.
<h3>Calibre Royal Manual: 100 h reserve and French roots</h3>
Inside ticks the Calibre Royal Manual (21,600 vph, 21 jewels), a hand-wound take on the Royal architecture developed and assembled in France at Morteau; it favors a large barrel and delivers about 100 hours of running time, visible through the exhibition back. The &ldquo;manual winding + ~100 h&rdquo; formula fosters a more tactile bond while meaningfully spacing out winding sessions.
<h3>Key dates and main models (2011&ndash;2025)</h3>
(2011) Pequignet Royale Origine:
With the automatic Calibre Royal, the <a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/pequignet/royale_origine">Pequignet Royale Origine</a> set the DNA of a line meant to showcase an in-house French movement: long autonomy, displays integrated in the mainplate and a vision of &ldquo;uninhibited&rdquo; French Haute Horlogerie. This explains the aesthetic/technical lineage of the later Royale Manuelle, which would bring that language to a distilled, essential form.&nbsp;The Royale family became the public face of the Calibre Royal and its recognizable architecture.&nbsp;
(2017) Pequignet Royale Manuelle:
The arrival of the Calibre Royal Manual (2017) comes with &ldquo;Royale Manuelle&rdquo; references highlighting a two-hand layout with small seconds; the intent is to center the experience on winding and long autonomy within the familiar 42 mm case of the line. This marked a renewed French hand-wound proposition from the manufacture and paved the way for opaline and sunray executions. Royale Manuelle thus became the purest gateway into the Calibre Royal universe.&nbsp;
(2018) Pequignet Royale Manuelle sunray silver:
The Pequignet Royale Manuelle 9080433 confirms the merits of the 42 mm format with exhibition back and 10 ATM, while leveraging light play on the dial; the 6 o&rsquo;clock small seconds balances the face and underscores an &ldquo;urban-chic&rdquo; intent. The reference appears on the market as early as 2018, reinforcing the visibility of the manual line within the Royale family.
(2022) Pequignet Royale Manuelle white opalin:
The Pequignet Royale Manuelle 9080413 focuses on purity (restrained indexes, blued hands) and versatile strap pairings (leather/alligator), while maintaining the 12.3 mm thickness and 10 ATM rating; this vintage is documented on the secondary market.
Listed in the official catalogue with multiple clasp and strap sizes, it anchors pricing around &euro;3,600 incl. VAT and reiterates the technical core (42 mm, six-screw sapphire back, 10 ATM, ~100 h). In a context of rising French offerings, it answers the brief for a simple, well-finished watch with a national calibre. This steady product cadence consolidates the Royale Manuelle as the collection&rsquo;s &ldquo;classic&rdquo; pillar.&nbsp;
(2025) Pequignet Royale Paris 39.5 mm:
While distinct from the Manuelle, the 39.5 mm Royale Paris signals the Royale family&rsquo;s momentum in 2025, adding big date, moon and reserve on the Calibre Royal; it illustrates the collection&rsquo;s expansion toward smaller diameters and more complication-forward faces alongside the Manuelle&rsquo;s distilled approach. Coexistence of these branches shows the breadth of the Royale platform and its adaptability.&nbsp;
<h3>Buying advice: size, dials, straps and real-life use</h3>
At 42 mm by ~12.3 mm, presence is confident yet fit for daily wear; try it under a cuff to validate clearance and head stability on your wrist. If you split time between desk and evenings out, adjust strap length to minimize lateral roll. Other customers&rsquo; opinions are essential.
Opaline white reads &ldquo;neutral and bright,&rdquo; while sunray silver plays more with light and reflections; polished hands remain legible in both. Pick your dial first by your lighting environment and wardrobe. Other customers&rsquo; opinions are essential.
Alligator heightens dressiness and hold; smooth leather is subtler and easygoing; a folding clasp helps with frequent on/off. If you wear it daily, a deployant reduces strap wear and improves comfort. Other customers&rsquo; opinions are essential.
Hand-winding creates a ritual: with roughly 100 hours, you can wind every two to three days; simply watch for the end-of-travel feel. If you rotate watches, that reserve stretches intervals without a reset. Other customers&rsquo; opinions are essential.
10 ATM water resistance adds useful tolerance (rain, sinks, relaxed bathing), but avoid intense aquatic use; the sapphire back rewards lingering looks at the balance. Treat the Royale Manuelle as a reasoned &ldquo;sport-chic,&rdquo; not a watch to rough up. Other customers&rsquo; opinions are essential.
<h3>Conclusion</h3>
Classic without being stiff, the Royale Manuelle targets those wanting a French-made watch of character&mdash;true to the Royale aesthetic yet distilled to essentials: hours, minutes, small seconds, a fine manual movement and generous autonomy. The decision is mostly between two shades of light (opaline vs sunray), strap comfort and your tolerance for 42 mm. To decide, rely on a wrist-test, your wardrobe and Dialicious customer reviews to triangulate comfort, legibility and everyday pleasure.&nbsp;

En février 2016, j organise la visite de la manufacture Pequignet à Morteau avec un groupe d amis. Ce fut une révélation ! Les équipes , les ingénieurs , les horlogers ,…. Des gens admirables avec un vrai savoir faire et des valeurs. Ils conçoivent eux même leur propre calibre . Lors de la visite , nous apprenions que le Calibre Royale GMT était en cours de finalisation avec la sortie de la GMT à l automne. J ai craqué pour la version Cadran bleu soleillé qui est magnifique . Elle est technique et , magnifique . Son cadran est le plus beau bleu que je n ai jamais vu. C est cette splendeur qui me donnera l idée des 80 Séries Limitées Clouzeau pour fêter les 80 ans de la bijouterie Clouzeau avec 2 modèles airs et manuelles avec ce même cadran en 2019. C est la montre d une vie car c est grâce à elle que je me suis passionné pour la marque et c est la montre de ma collection qui a la plus belle valeur émotionnelle 

In February 2016, I organized a visit to the Pequignet manufacture in Morteau with a group of friends. It was a revelation! The teams, the engineers, the watchmakers… Admirable people with true expertise and strong values. They design their own calibers. During the visit, we learned that the Calibre Royale GMT was being finalized, with the GMT model slated for release in the fall. I fell in love with the sunburst blue dial version, which is magnificent. It's both technically sophisticated and stunning. Its dial is the most beautiful blue I've ever seen. It was this splendor that inspired the 80 Clouzeau Limited Editions to celebrate the 80th anniversary of Clouzeau jewelry, with two models—air-wound and manual-wind—featuring the same dial in 2019. This is the watch of a lifetime, because it's thanks to this watch that I became passionate about the brand, and it's the watch in my collection with the greatest emotional value.
