x Audemars Piguet Bioceramic Royal Pop Orenji Hachi

The Swatch ORENJI HACHI SSX03L103N watch was created as part of the Royal Pop collection developed by Swatch and Audemars Piguet. The design builds on the concept of combining the archival Swatch POP line with the most distinctive elements of the Royal Oak. The design allows the model to be used both as a classic wristwatch and as a pocket watch or an accessory that can be attached to clothing and other accessories. The form itself deviates from standard watch designs and focuses more on modularity and an experimental approach to how it is worn.The ORENJI HACHI version features a vibrant orange color scheme paired with darker details and transparent case elements. The centerpiece of the design is an octagonal bezel made of bioceramic, whose proportions directly reference the Royal Oak’s construction. Eight hexagonal screws are set on its surface, while the dial features a geometric texture inspired by the “Tapisserie” pattern used by Audemars Piguet. The bold orange hue combined with a more technical form gives the model a distinctly industrial and futuristic character.The construction utilizes bioceramic, which accounts for the low weight and matte surface 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 watch takes on an elongated form characteristic of modern pocket watches and models designed to be clipped onto clothing. 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 fusion of the aesthetics of Audemars Piguet’s luxury watchmaking with the experimental approach characteristic of Swatch POP designs from the 1990s. In the case of the Swatch ORENJI HACHI SSX03L103N model, the greatest emphasis was placed on contrasting colors, a modular construction, and a strongly geometric form inspired by the Royal Oak.
