x Audemars Piguet Bioceramic Royal Pop Huit Blanc

The Swatch HUIT BLANC SSX03W100N watch was created as part of the Royal Pop collection, developed jointly by Swatch and Audemars Piguet. The design builds on the concept of combining the archival Swatch POP series with the most distinctive elements of the Royal Oak. The design allows the model to be worn as a classic wristwatch, a clip-on accessory, or a contemporary interpretation of a pocket watch. The entire collection is based on a more experimental approach to functional form while retaining the geometry characteristic of Audemars Piguet designs.The HUIT BLANC model features a light color scheme combining white with transparent and silver design details. The centerpiece of the design is an octagonal bezel made of bioceramic, whose proportions directly reference the Royal Oak. Eight hexagonal screws are set into the bezel’s surface, while the dial features a pattern inspired by Audemars Piguet’s “Tapisserie” motif. The light color scheme, combined with the geometric form, creates a more minimalist and technical impression than most classic Swatch models. The transparent elements further emphasize the modular construction of the entire design.The construction utilizes bioceramic, which accounts for the watch’s light weight and matte finish. The front and case back are protected by sapphire crystal with an anti-reflective coating. The set also includes a leather lanyard strap made of calfskin with contrasting stitching. When mounted in a special holder, the design takes on an elongated form inspired by contemporary pocket watches and functional accessories. The case diameter is approximately 40 mm.Powering the watch is the SISTEM51 movement, equipped with manual winding and a power reserve of approximately 90 hours. The design utilizes an anti-magnetic Nivachron hairspring, which improves the movement’s resistance to magnetic fields. The transparent case back allows you to see part of the movement and graphics created specifically for the Royal Pop collection. The hands and hour markers are coated with Super LumiNova, which emits blue light after dark.The Royal Pop collection is based on a combination of archival Swatch POP designs with details characteristic of the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak. In the case of the Swatch HUIT BLANC SSX03W100N model, the focus is on bright colors, geometric proportions, and a modular design that evolves the classic elements of the Royal Oak in a more modern direction.
